Dead ignition

[MikeWeare]

omg I think I’ve killed my t6. I suspect that I may have put a fuse back in the wrong slot whilst trying to sort a lack of brake lights and indicators,now I have no ignition… please help

Post a pic of your fusebox.

I suspect it may be the 25a on r/h side

 

[MikeWeare]

How do you remove the big square fuses to check

 

[paddy26]

The 25a is turn and brake lights.
Did you move any in the middle row?

 

[paddy26]

Should the 7.5a in the middle row be down 1 slot. Slot sc32.

 

[MikeWeare]

I’ve been checking all of them so quite possible. I have found a labelled diagram, I’ll move it this morning and put the 25a back in 6 from bottom

Look for the metal contacts inside the terminals, any slot that is supposed to have a fuse in it will have metal contacts on both sides to accept the two prongs of the fuse, empty slots will only have a metal contact on one side

Good to know… thanks

 

[MikeWeare]

… moved the 7.5 down a slot and hey presto all good… I hate auto electrics .
Thanks for your prompt and invaluable responses. If I ever bump into you I will buy you beer all night !

Great to hear you got it sorted.
It's good practise to take pics before changing/removing things as you can refer back to them later.
You're unlikely to bump into us for beers but getting vip membership for £12.99 is the next best thing. You get access to a lot of data incl fusebox diagrams and wiring diagrams.

Agreed! Bargain!

Think of what a main dealer would have charged you to diagnose the problem, probably minimum of an hours labour.
£12.99 is a steal in the grand scheme of things.

the downside is you tend to spend more time on here and so you end up following "what have I bought" thread and spend even more.

So true.
