    Fuse repeatedly blowing

    Afternoon all. A week back I noticed the 12v ciggie charger in the dash had stopped working. Just removed the passenger seat and found the 20 fuse under there had blown. Changed it. Worked for a bit and then blew again. Is there anyway of working out what is causing it ? Does anyone know...

    [T6] 12V Dash Sockets both not working

    Both of my 12V sockets on the dash (top one and the centre one by gear stick) have stopped working for some reason. I’ve checked the fuses in the central fuse box under the gear lever and these are ok. I changed the 20A one (SF11) for an LED fuse but this does not light and have checked the 15A...

    Under passenger seat fuse for 12 cig lighter

    Hi, my 12v cig lighter doesn't work and I believe there's a fuse box for this under the passenger seat. I can see some wiring and blocks and they seem fixed to under the seat. Are there fuses in there and how do I access them? I've checked other locations for the fuses and they seem fine. Thanks.

    T6.1 with Factory fit 2nd Battery Cab Socket Poll

    On my 2023 T6.1 both the cab sockets were factory wired to the factory fitted leisure battery. I‘d like to know if this was a standard change from T6 to T6.1s (2019 onwards) or whether it “just depends” on equipment fitted. Advice is often that you can charge the starter battery from one of the...

    Hi all. Recently purchased a 2022 5 seater T6. It has 2 12 volt sockets. One by the gear shift and one above steering wheel on top of dash. Factory fitted. Neither are working. I have looked at all available fuse layouts and threads and they refer to the fuses being under the passenger seat...

    Anyone tell me how to remove the lower cigarette lighter trim piece?

    Can anyone tell me how to remove this trim piece please ? I need to fit a new surround to the 12v socket. I’ve had the trim tools around it for the last 15 minutes, but I’m getting nowhere. By the damage around it, I’m guessing the last owner also had the same trouble, before giving up.

    Lower dash 12v socket not working [Resolved].

    When we whet camping last week, I plugged our 12v cool box into the middle dash cigarette socket and it instantly blew. I've just changed the 15a fuse which was blown, but the socket still isn't working. Are there any other fuses controlling it? I have no fuses under the passenger seat as some...

    Cigar Lighter element that actually fits

    I just want to find a lighter element plug that fits into the socket either on dash or below head unit. I thought one of them was for cigar lighter. I have a vw element and it doesn’t fit into either? Hoping someone knows the part number because I can’t find it.
