Where is fuse for VXR8 gerabox?

[SteveMJ]

I recall seeing on this forum about re-setting of the gearbox ECU by removing/replacing the ECU's fuse. Where is that please?


Thanks, Steve

I think leigh1050 is thinking of doing the same!

unplug fuse for 30 seconds, put back in and away you go

Just a little feedback on this, from my own experience. I think how mush effect it has is down to the condition of the box and the quality of the mapping on it. I tried it at Santa pod, running before and after within a few minutes, made absolutely no difference. But this is on a box with very low millage and a Monkfish map. Hope it works for you, I`ll await your results.

What does removing and then putting back the fuse achieve?
Can't see it doing much meself, nd I tend not to fkabout with electrical gubbins on cars unless I really have to.

I'm not so sure you'd notice the difference it you were just doing straight runs in it, out on the road in normal traffic I certainly noticed the difference in mine after I'd reset the fuse.

I was told by removing the fuse it re sets the adaptive learning and puts it back to factory default.
Mine was mapped by walkinshaws.
i did see an improvement as mine runs daily to work and back total 8 miles town driving.
so when i want a weekend thrash about the fuse comes out then back in again.
trouble is it soon learns your driving style and reverts back to normal driving
hope that info is correct and some use to you

Took out the suggested fuse and left it out for a few minutes (much longer than the suggested 30 secs). I can't say there is a huge noticable difference. Maybe a smoother changes and more positive changes. Will monitor over the coming week on my my 100 mile daily commute and if I notice more I will update.
