Car Electrics - Fuse

[jonjay]

Ok last night I went to open my car via key remote and nothing. Car opens fine via putting key in the lock however lights on driver’s side door are off, car windows and wing mirrors aren’t responding.

I have spoken to my Seat Dealer and confirmed from research I done previously on this site that it is a fuse (he wouldn't say if it was fuse 38). Dealer stated that when this sort of thing happens (they are aware of the problem) they swap the 10a for a 15a.

What sort type of fuse do I need to get. Furthermore where are the fuses located? Your help is greatly appreciated!

P.S. my fuel cap won’t open either! So it’s become critical I fix it soon...

fuses are located at the side of the dash

drivers end should be a 15 amp replacment needed hope this helps ya fela...

yeh, open the drivers side/end of the dash - all fuses are in there. The manual for the car would also show this, where the fuses are and what type you need.
usually a 10 or 15A fuse for Fuse 38.
Fuse diagram/label is on the inside of the fusebox lid.

Ok changed fuse 38 (it was not blown) and problem still there. Any ideas on what else it might be? All other fuses are fine. Possibly main fuses in the engine bay?

What about the central convenience unit?

I'm afraid this is probably the problem Really not looking forward to the big bill I am gonna get from the stealers. Hopefully its just a lose connection somewhere...

Thanks for the find though anyway.

I've come across a similar problem. Turned out to be a bug in the software. The control unit can be reset by disconnected the battery and waiting 10 minutes before reconnecting. Which is worth trying before taking it anwhere.

But be aware you'll need a radio code, reset the clock and one touch windows.

Took my car into garage as battery idea did not work - £411 ouch!
