Hello all.
A useful forum which I have followed regularly since taking delivery of my 2017 GT Line 3008.
It's just had its 4th service with comment from the garage the fan belt needs changing as it's starting to perish. Four years old and 21k miles.
But reason for this post are fuses which is giving me a short fuse!
Couple of weeks ago the boot and rear power supply (cigarette lighter) stopped working. Not sure why as the boot only gets used for a dashcam, and rear seat power for tyre pump.
As nether work I presume they are on the same circuit. The front power supply works OK.
Fuses in the rear dashcam and tyre pump haven't blown so presume the fuse in the car has blown.
My original manual is useless with no mention of fuse details, and subsequent manual online gives more details and suggests it's under the steering wheel which isnt.
It looks like it's behind a white plate behind the fuse flap in the glove compartment. And that white plate looks like it had clips which seem impossible to get to and put in front is the tangle of cables and connectors.
It certainly doesn't look like an easy way to change a fuse, those cables and connectors don't have much movement and reluctant to disconnect the connectors.
I guess if the car was a left hand drive with plenty of space on the left of the car it would be an easier fuse change. But the French knew we were leaving the EU so would make things difficult for the Brits!
Any tips on changing fuses? I have done various searches which all seem to relate to the old style 3008 and not the new model introduced in 2017.
Or any idea how to get the power socket out of the boot to see if anything has come lose?
I don't feel like getting the whole dashboard out to change a fuse even if I knew where to start!
Feels like it's a dealer diagnostic and change fuse, assuming that's the problem. :-(
Thanks
