I am mystified.  I have a current model D4, and have a blown fuse (I suspect).  I wish to remove the fuse (mini Blade 15A), but cannot see how to pull the fuse from the fuse box.  I have a small blade fuse remover, but it seems unable to fit in the gaps between the fuses.  Is there a secret to this?  I feel I must have missed something very obvious.......
I have damaged fingers, so grasping the fuse with the end of my fingers is almost impossible.
Advice would be appreciated :angel:

From memory there is a fuse "tweezer" next to the fuse block. If not, I just use a pair of needle nose pliers.

I looked for the tweezers, but could not find them.  I used a large pair of long nosed pliers, - after I took the Fuse tap out that was obscuring the fuse I was looking for.  Took quite a pull to remove the fuse, and a push to restore the replacement.  Suspected blown fuse was for the 12s "auxiliary" which I had planned to use for an AES fridge "exciter".  Problem was that on my caravan, the exciter wire had been exchanged for a fridge supply wire, and that would / did draw too much current.  I was unaware of this, but slightly confused when I saw the heavy cable involved.  Thats when I suspected I had blown the fuse.  I will rewire the fridge to work from the anderson connections.
Thanks again for your help.
