Good afternoon.

I have been following the Handbook and I am trying to locate & replace fuse MF10 which is for the Power Steering. It's definitely not within the Maxifuses in the main under-the-bonnet Fuse box, these are just MF1 - MF8.

Does anybody know where the second under-the-bonnet fuse box could possibly be which houses MF9 - MF11 and how I can access it to find this darn MF10 fuse ?

Any help would be gratefully appreciated.

Thanks
SW

Yes fuses are under the existing fuse box

Thanks for the reply.

As mentioned above, the Maxi Fuses under the Fuse box only have MF1 - MF8, the manual mentions MF9 - MF11 are are in Box 2.

This is the difficulty I am having as I can't find Box 2 anywhere obvious.

Ok mate, thanks, if you have any info It'd be most appreciated.:thumb:

207 power steering is connected via its main wiring to the underbonnet fusebox there is no second underbonnet fusebox it will be powered by 1 of the fuses already in the lower fusbox.

Ok thanks, so the handbook would be wrong in this instance do you think? Any idea which fuse it might be and do you know the Ampage?

 

[reliable406]

What are you actually trying to do ?

 

[swws2007]

Trying to see if the PAS fuse is knackered as it's faulty.

 

[reliable406]

So your steering is not working does your speedo work ?

 

[swws2007]

Sorry for late reply, yes everything else works, apart from the PAS. It displays "Power Steering Faulty". I took it to a local Formula One garage and after plugging it in they told me no faults were found on their machine, although clearly it's not working. Before I take to a vehicle electrician, they suggested I check fuses and also maybe a low battery level could affect. What would you suggest ?

 

[reliable406]

I was looking in scrappy today specifically for this second maxi fuse box and i THINK i know what your looking for but not all have it there is a row of solid state type fuses on SOME cars next to the battery they are bolted in like an old style fuse in a horror movie

But to be honest if it was blown i would expect a comms fault to be displayed.

 

[swws2007]

Thanks so much for checking. Funny enough the bloody power steering started working randomly today, which good mean faulty electrics I'd guess. I've booked it in with someone to have a look over connections etc as I'm fully expecting it to play up again. One garage did mention a weak battery could cause the steering to drop out but it's strange that all the other gadgets are unaffected.

Steering draws 40 amps of current so any bad connection will stop the power flowing !
