Is200 Electrical Problem

[tunneller]

Last night when I parked the car everything appeared to be working OK.

This morning when I started the car the "Outside temp" reads - E, the heated rear window button/aircon button/fan button do not function & are not "lit".

All other electrics appear OK. (Clock, windows, radio, cig lighter)

Is there a fuse that would cover these specifics & if so where is it & whats it called???

(Had the radio/CD changed about 5 months ago so unlikely to have disturbed a connection after all that time?)

Also had 80,000 service about 2 months ago.

All help greatfully received

welcome to the club mate!

I would reccomend taking it into the dealer for them to have a look mate....

I remember my first car (a 1972 Triumph SPitfire Mk IV) came with a wiring diagram... not so these days, besides - I probably wouldn't understand it!

I'd go through the fuses one by one, starting with the small 'blade' type ones, and see if one is burnt out (should be fairly obvious to spot). These functions may well be covered by one fuse, but some of the descriptions on the inside of the fuse box lid are cryptic to say the least!

Even if you do find (& fix) a duff fuse, it's worth doing as Zee' suggests and getting the dealer to have a butchers, just in case there's an underlying fault causing it.

the fuse locations are: behind the rounded kick panels in the footwells ( retained by a plastic nut) and also in the top right ( looking at the car) of the engine bay. there is a fuse guide on the back of all the panels.

This thread is six years old, I would hope he'd have solved his problem by now !

But this might be interesting to Davros, who also appears to have this problem.
