Davey,

here is the guide you need:

I've read somewhere that the fuse 38 relocation isn't necessary because when you stick the key in the ignition it releases the deadlocks automatically. Allowably this was on an Ibiza not a Leon, but I'm guessing it runs on the same software and hardware ??

Yes, i experienced this just the other day.

 

[lc_allan]

Is the fuse thing true on the leon?, anyone else confirm?

 

[RobM]

So if true, you could de-lock and not remove the fuse, because in the event of your remote failing or the fuse blowing, you could simply open the boot with your key and the deadlocks will release when you put the key in the ignition?

i'd like to know this too.

perhaps i'll go and try it

will the alarm go off, though, when i climb in the boot?

Yes it will, go now and test

 

[kez]

but will it switch off, if i put the key in the ignition?

obviously i can't switch it off with the remote, as it defeats the object of the test

 

[Leigh15]

Yes, it'll turn off with the ignition key

 

[dan__smith]

What about the alarm? Surely this will go off if your opening the boot?
And if someone see's you climbing throught the boot whilst the alarms going, aren't they going to call the cops?

 

[Leigh15]

Who ever pays attention to car alarms going off!?!

This is true!

Sounds good.......but in practice if your fuse has blown and you can't get to it to replace it how will your dead locks de-activate, without a power feed???

 

[kez]

perhaps the deadlocks are mechanically operated by the door handle? as well as electrically by the C/L solenoid

 

[dalepearson]

The easiest way to test is remove fuse 38, this will simulate a blown fuse and see what happens. Obviously ensure you have the door lock in place.

If the deadlocks are mechanically operated by the handle then it kind of makes them pointless.

The way I understood it is that if fuse 38 blows you can get in through the boot and switch the alarm off by putting the key in the ignition but you will not be able to open the doors.

If you can't open the door then you can't get to the fuse.

It's very easy to do (See Pabs guide) and it costs very little but gives alot of reassurance just incase it blows.

the deadlocks need power - fuse 38 provides said powerflow.

If fuse 38 dies, deadlocks fail to operate. Only way to get to fuse is to then cut off doorcard and 1/2 of your dash, in order to be able to open the door, and then replace the fuse.

The fuse relocation guide is on my site too - however my site is hosted on SCN servers and currently I have no access to fix the broken links - there have been some changes in the background which m0rk is still working on.

I'll fix my site as soon as i can - but Davey - i sent you the guide link in PM anyway.

Yeah, cheers mate i read through it last night and made a trip to Maplin this morning for the bits. Just finished relocating the fuse and all is fine.
Bought some nifty fuses from maplin. When they have blown a tiny light on the top lights up to let you know. Thinking about replacing all the fuses with these as it could be usefull when fault finding.
Cheers again Pabs
