Fuse Replacement

169

MAIN FUSE BOX

To access the interior fuse box, first remove the driver's personal

storage compartment as follows (see diagram 'A'):

• Open the storage compartment, then push it upwards (against

spring pressure) to release it from the retaining pivots (one on

each side near the bottom). At the same time, pull the storage

compartment out and away from the surrounding panel.

To replace the storage compartment (see diagram 'B'):

• Locate and align the indents at the top (one on each side) of the

storage compartment with the two retaining springs.

• Push the storage compartment upwards (holding it against the

pressure of the two springs) while pushing the bottom into

position. Note that the storage compartment pivots near its base

and will latch into place once the two pivot pins have engaged

with the appropriate slots low down on each side of the storage

compartment.

Checking or renewing a fuse

Always turn off the starter switch and the appropriate electrical

circuit before removing a fuse. To remove a fuse, press the

removal tweezers onto the head of the fuse and pull. Always

replace a fuse with another of the same (or lower) rating. If a

replacement fuse blows almost immediately, this indicates a serious

electrical problem and the circuit MUST be checked by an MG

Rover dealer.
