Changed the battery today ,, no more dash warning lights but need help with fuse box

Changed the battery today ,, no more dash warning lights but need help with fuse box Number as no label

Had Gazk connect his nanocom a few weeks back ,,, then didn't have any fault codes come up ,, anyhow thought i would ask a mate with a Snap-On code reader have a look ,,
Come up as Battery check ,,,
anyhow checked it with his fancy load tester and come up as calcified
so anyhow got one of those fancy Optima 980cca batteries and put in ,,, no more fault lights on the dash ,,,,

Now the problem ,,,
NO interior lights
No clock
no radio
no OBD2 power
runs drives great ,

The sticker has been removed from the fuse box ,,
any help with the fuse it could be ,,
Or do i just pull each one and look if its blown ?

with clock interior lights and radio ,,, sounds like an AUX circuit ,,,,
Thanks all ,,,,

Mt wife said that the clock and interior lights were working after the battery change so ,mmmmm mill go thru every fuse tomorrow

I could probably check for you tomorrow... I sold my D2 to my neighbour.... so as long he is home I could pop over and check out the manual for you....


This might also help.. http://manuals.lrocb.be/Disco/D2/D2_Electrical_Library_MY1999_2003.pdf

I cant down load the book an only on mobile data as they have cut the adsl outside while putting the NBN in ,,,
thanks that would be great
so looks like the radio is fuse 16 ,,, wonder why the OBD2 port isnt powering ??
Hope the fuse box is ok ??
Thanks again

Indeed. in fact, it's not that hard to make one.

had a similar problem I left the ignition on and door open while changing a batt


it blows one of the engine symbols f14 f24 /booklet symbols F20 F21 F29 f30


if you don't have a test light just pull each fuse


I don't normally use a test light because a lazy fuse can some times give you false readings


a lazy fuse is where its been hot but not enough to burn out the fuse element warps and stretches in this case it will have voltage but it cant carry the current

Sounds similar to a problem I had last year. Ended up replacing fuse 20, see following post for more detail.

cheers steve .. will do today was getting dark last night ,, I did get the test light out ,,,
funny thing there is no 12v to the left side of the fuse (the feed side) ,,

maybe i should have posted the obvious as i checked the 710 cap on top of the engine and it was ok ,,, i googled "710" and bugga me its "OIL"

anyhow i dont ask for help if i dont need it ,, i only wanted the fuse diagram ,,,,
thanks to the useful posts with the info i needed ,,,
Cheers boys ,,

Found the problem Dry joints in the fuse box ,
Its a bugga to get to and remove ,,,
so was a quick fix the solder was just a hair so after years it heated up and melted thru ,,,
Maybe because of the Optima battery ??
Who knows ,, maybe that was the gremlin in the system all along ??
will soon find out

[rob tilbury]

Just did 70k`s not one drama and everything is working
WELL BUGGA ME
I may have SHOT THAT GREMLIN IN THE FACE !

I hope i have Helped someone with there car with this fix im sure there are a million things that can go wrong and i was very lucky that i found this one and it was an easy fix ,,,
until the next Fleshing light ,,, stay safe ,,
Be good ,, and enjoy a beer .

[Bytemrk]

Then you can get on with enjoying the car rather than writing posts in here about how bad it is :D ;) :p

[rob tilbury]
