Help on fuse board layout

[Dodsy]

I managed to drop a coin into the ciggy lighter in the drivers door which has shorted it out. I am away from home and could do with using my satnav to get me back. looking at the fusebox I cant see anything obviously blown so can anyone point me to which fuse (or even just the size) I should be looking at to save me trying to pull them all out one at a time.

97 Chim 450 if that helps. As usual the bible is at home.....

There isn't one labelled for the cig lighter. Do your mirrors still work?

Not to be facetious - it'll be quicker for you to google "chimaera fuse box diagram" and open the first image (which is the diagram, just checked) than it will be for you to reply to this post...

I tried the google thing before posting, the images are all different to mine, all from earlier models. But I've sorted it now, there was an earlier post on PH that pointed to the heated seat fuse (number 4) . As I dont have heated seats and there was a fuse in that socket I pulled it and it was blown. It was a socking great 30A fuse, no wonder I had smoke coming out of the door. Replaced it with a 10A job and all is well again .

Invest in a set of smart fuses. Cheap investment that saves so much time and stress when you consider the location that it is in. Only took being stranded in a unlit car park at night trying to find a blown light fuse for me to make the switch.

There is a fuse layout in the little owners handbook.
