    Remove or change Discovery 4 Fuse - Glovebox

    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

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

    Smile Tried the long nose pliers - and story of an AES fridge

    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.
