Hunt the fuse box!

[Miles_stylus]

OK - I admit it, I'm blind...

I have a MY04 53 plate 111s and I think I need to change one of the fuses - the passenger side dip beam has gone and as I have only recently fitted a HID kit I hope it isn't the bulb.

Havign looked at the manual I took the passenger side front access pannel off expecting to find the fuse box so I could swap a 10A fuse and check my theory to only to be confronted with nothing. Having got the pannel back on (incorrectly as it transpired) I took to driver's side off - stillno joy (though I did manage to drop the allan key onto the rad having done up 2 of the bolts - oh the skinned fingers getting that begger back!

Noticing that I'd not engaged the little plastic clip I had to take both sides off again (checking that I was not being totally stupid and missing a large fuse box) and put them on properly.

Next I looked in the engine bay but didn't really see much...

So where oh where are the blessed fuses?

Thanks all

On my 04 111s also a 53 they are under the passenger side access.

You then have to remove the next plastic cover plate, thats attached to the radiator.

Then they are in a box tight under the clam, just above the wheel.

hope this helps,

thanks for that - I'll have another look tomorrow

Yep the same thing happened to me- thought a fuse had gone but it wasn't, i had knocked the hazard warning light slightly so the indicators were not working . i'm useless and it took my one hour to get the cover off and on again! in doing so, did not fit it back correctly so had to start again. The fuse box is located under a 'black shield' under the compartment on the passenger side (this also needs to be taken off with a spanner). good luck

well we're back here again

I managed to change the fuse (thanks to you) however it has gone again. This suggests to me that there is some problem - would this be a reasonable thing?

I know that electrical issues can be a bugg*r to sort out, are there any known issues or things that I should check before handing it over to the garage?

thanks

Could it be something shorting somewhere after the fitment of the HIDs? I'd suggest getting help from an auto electrician if you have a good one near you. Could save you hours of pain and hassle.

Thanks - it seems however that the fuses needed up-rating however they were left at 10 - awaiting confirmation from Yvo. Hoping that it's this
