Interior Lights / Tail Light Fuse

[scotia]

hello, checked this am in the dark (so i could control the brake lights etc..) and i now have checked obd11 which shows "terminal 30 for interior light/parking light - open circuit".

now i'd imagine that this has come from me pulling out the map lights to get at the cubby hole but what could i have done?! i havent been anywhere near the exterior lights since i added the front fogs with paulys help 1 year ago and all has been fine since then..?

the famous fuse - i dont understand this atall - if i didnt have a fuse in F5 before how could my lights have worked?! i havent touched the fusebox since the fogs and the fuse i just put in has done nothing ?

@Pauly or @Dellmassive or @Deaky what do you guys reckon? The missing fuse is messing with my head I don't understand! Never had a bulb warning atall.. what is terminal 30?

Terminal 30 is a constant live connection. I would definitely see if you can get a camera or mirror down into the fuse box to have a look at that slot where the fuse should be and verify that you can/cant see a metal clip in both sides of the fuse holder.

A fault with the internal lights would not trigger a warning light on the dash, they're not monitored.

Ok thabks I'll try that this evening.. if there isn't anything in the slot it's a bit strange no? And I have inserted a new fuse so that should have resolved it.. I'll see what I can see.

I’m sure @Loz has pointed at that his California doesn’t have that fuse and is assigned to another slot, perhaps he can chip in ?

 

[Loz]

Should be this one

Should be 15A (is on mine...) this looks like it has been changed before

 

[scotia]

ah ok that is strange.. So @Loz you think i need to change this 10A to a 15A - ok will do.

what about the 7.5A fuse that others mention is for the interior and tail lights?

I've a 2015 T6 transporter..not Cali - does this make a difference?

 

[scotia]

hello again, ok just checked the location of your 7.5A fuse, and mine seems empty with regards to clips? i really cant get a better view on it its a nightmare!

i replaced the 10A fuse - youre right loz that looks to have been changed but not by me..

i still get the same error..

do i need to take it to the garage? would they have tools that would narrow this down more or?

 

[scotia]

the 10A fuse was fine so im at a loss.

 

[Loz]

Test every fuse

 

[scotia]

found one! and its 7.5A..

its a small shape one - not got any spare of that type..

its F20 - is that right @Loz ?





and thanks Loz, Deaky Pauly etc

 

[scotia]

didnt get the time before today to fix this, all sorted.. it was the F20 7.5A fuse..

I've updated that 10A fuse to a 15A, thanks Loz- you were right it seemed to have been changed before as there was a white dot..

thanks v much @Loz @Pauly @Deaky @mmi etc, strange that there are different layouts for these fuseboxes?!
