where are the cabin fuses in a volante?

[simonpieman]

I feel really stupid but...does anybody know where the cabin fuses are in a volante? Manual doesn't give any clues. I've tried PH search and google.

In the coupe they are under the carpet, behind a beautiful aluminium cover, secured by 7 x T30 torx bolts. Be careful when you lift the carpet, its held on by two very sticky pads, so you could rip it if you're a bit too brutal.

Did you have a problem with a battery charger? that seems to be the usual reason to go exploring the beautiful engineering under the carpets

Can't believe you didn't know that! ;-)

I know, not very good is it. But I do know where the main things are: steering wheel, accelerator, brake...and fuse 22

Thanks Mike, I'll have a look later this morning. I need access to the cabin fuse in order to re-boot window modules as per Rick's suggestion under the Bizarre thread.

Found it now. But I couldn't get the relevant fuses out. How are you meant to get them out? I've got a little plastic clip designed to get fuses out but I can't get enough purchase on it to extract the fuse. Do people use long nose pliers, or would they crush the fuse?

[MichaelV8V]

The advice is usually to use something plastic so you don't risk shorting anything, but I didn't have anything suitable, so used some longnose pliers and out it came. Used the same pliers to put in the new fuse as it was too fiddly to do by hand

My wife's tweezers from her manicure set were perfect for the job of removing fuse 22..........
