Fuses and relays - location and renewal

Body electrical systems / Fuses and relays - location and renewal

1 The fuses and relays are located under the facia panel on the right-hand side (see illustration).

3.1 Removing fuse/relay unit cover

2 The fuses are numbered consecutively for identification. Always renew a fuse with one of identical rating and never renew it more than once without finding out the source of the problem (see illustration).

3.2 Removing a fuse

3 All relays are of the plug-in type and are numbered for identification, though not consecutively (see illustration).

3.3 Removing a relay

4 Relays cannot be repaired and if at all suspect, should be removed and taken to an auto-electrician for testing.

5 The fuse/relay unit holder complete can be removed by twisting the securing knob on the lower right-hand side and removing the knob.

Twist the slotted retainer on the left-hand side and withdraw the fuse/relay box. The various connectors on the rear face of the unit are then accessible for detachment as required (see illustration).
