Stereo fuse?!?

[robo22sri 10]

I have just shorted out the constant live and earth while trying to solder :(

 

But I can't find where the fuse is located that supplies the stereo!

 

Please help i can't find anything on the search :(

 

Thanks Rob

Do you mean you cant find the fuses or the actual fuse? anyway.... The fuses are behind the small shelf where the drivers right knee would be. It maybe held in by 2 plastic clips - if it is becareful taking them out theyre hard to get hold of. THe stereo fuse is the far left of the little row of fuses its a red 10A fuse. Think it says what each fuse is for on the back of the shelf you would have removed to get to them.

 

Some stereos have a fuse on the back of the stereo itself also.

Thank you mate :D

 

Spot on, it was on the far right :D

 

I have blown the fuse its self on the fuse board i knew i did it because i was holding the wires together with snipe nose pliers and i touched the live to earth (needed 3 hands lol)

 

Now i need to get a 10A fuse! can i put normal blade fuses in? oh and is there clips to hold that tray in? mine was zip tied to the dash and it doesnt go back very well!

Ah far right, i knew it was one or the other :lol:

 

Yeah just normal fuses, but an old design i think.

 

You maybe able to find some if you ask on the "Corrados being broken" threads, or post up a wanted thread. THey're obsolete from the dealers and very sort after. I may have a spare set somewhere, but cant guarantee it - ill take a look.

are you talking about the clips or fuses?

Clips, fuse are available from halfords - they're just normal clear blade fuses.
