Right in my quest to be prepared I have a long list of spare fuses , relays etc. But I was just wondering if someone could confirm the likely symptoms if one of the 3 main fuses go:

100amp fuse under airbox - Are the symptoms similar to a failing alternator or dodgy battery?
80amp fuse in passenger footwell - Issues with power to the dash etc?
Fuse in battery box - Failure of PAS?

General strange running/electrical issues - Often caused by bad earths in the battery box, passenger footwell and engine to chassis behind front d/s wheel?

Also could someone be kind enough to message me the resolution should you get locked out due to flat battery or other alarm/locking issue! Better to be pre armed with the knowledge rather than messaging when stranded somewhere particularly inconvenient!

Thanks for any guidance smile

Thanks Shep, although wouldn't be impossible to get hold of the spare in the boot of the T350 I would rather just keep a more accessible spare in the glovebox! Very good tip bow
