Blown Fuse

[steak]

I have a 2004 megane estate tourer and the fuse has blown for the cigarette lighter and rear window demister and AC.
Question one is where is the fuse for this.
Question two is if it is in the fuse box at the side of the battery how do you remove the covers to replace it.
Any help please.

Drop the glove compartment flap, all the electrical system fuses are at the side. Don't you have the car handbook, clearly detailed in there?

The handbook does not tell you which fuse also I have problems getting at the fuses as they are so inacessible and I find it difficult to use the tweezer supplied. Do you know how to remove the covers off the fuse box under the bonnet.

Acording to Haynes;

1
Remove 2 screws an lift off fuse box cover- this gives access to only 4 of the fuses

2 Unclip the largewiring plug from the top of the fuse box sliding it out sideways without disconecting it

3
Unscrew the bolt anddisconect the large redfusebox supply lead from the front of the fuse box

4
Slide the engine multiplex module out from its location in the top of the fuse box This provides access to the fuses.


Looking at the wiring diagram the socket is powered through fuse2 of the battery fusebox, fuse4 of the engine fusebox, and finally fuse 1g in the passenger side fusebox.

Sound like fuse 4 in the engine fusebox as that supplies all 3 circuits you mentioned. Hope that helps.

Yes the fuse is in the box at the side of the glove pocket, it is marked for the radio, even though the radio still works that is the one and its at the top section. If you have had the same problem as me it is very misleading because the radio still works in most aspects but you will find that it does not turn off automatically. Good Luck

The radio will switch off after 20 minutes if this fuse is blown as if you don't have the engine running.
