Steve W Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 Sorry, i KNOW it's on here but can't find it..... How do i remove the Engine Bay fuse box to get to the 120 amp fuse "legs" ???? I know it's bolts underneath but where/how many any snags ???? Thanks, FatS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hodge Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 Take the fusebox lid off. Undo 2 x 10mm nuts and 1 x 12mm nut that hold the fuse board in. Gently lift it up and slide the rubber boot out the lower part of the box and you can easily get to the fuse bolts. Hope this helps mate. If you get stuck, feel free to drop me a p.m and I'll give you my number and I'll talk you through it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve W Posted May 13, 2012 Author Share Posted May 13, 2012 WELL, just as you said, 2 x 10mm and the "LIVE" 12mm nuts and up-she-comes 120A Big-White-Fuse took out and new one in (old one crumbled into a zillion bits) ...but... although it now turns over luvverrly (fully charged battery) it doesn't want to fire It had blown the EFi No1 30A fuse and as soon as I put another in it pops !! Any ideas ??? [there's no EFi No2 - cos it's an N/A ??] FatS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hodge Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 You've got a live touching earth somewhere in the car. That 120Amp fuse is constant amps, so it will run at 120Amps all day. I'm sure the break point is something like 200 amps or so. There's no other way that would have blown. Check the alternator power cable and any other power cables and go from there.

Steve W Posted May 13, 2012 Author Share Posted May 13, 2012 I sort of know why the 120A one blew . . . . I tried to jump start it from me Omega but there was Sweet Fanny left in the Soop battery and the jump leads sparked as I connected them (and the 120A went POP). But now the 120 is fine, but it's this 30A EFi fuse thats popping ??? It's not this IGNITER business is it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hodge Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 Sounds like you've melted 2 wires together or shorted a wire to chassis. Could be a needle in a haystack. Start with the simples first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
