Thanks. The relays you have used, do they turn the heated seats off when engine turns off? If so any idea what they are and where I can get them?
They are just regular relays as they supply the power to the heated seat kit which has its own relays.
Hoping this helps
Pull the Red tab away from the fusebox
Push red tab away from you and pull connector out to the left
Slides out- make sure you’ve already disconnected the battery!
Release the 3 clips circled while pushing main fuse box from the rear
Fusebox releases to give access to the rear
Pull purple locking mechanism down
It only moves down about 1 mm
Locking mechanism view from rear
Locking mechanism controls access to fuses 11 - 54 inclusive
Hope that helps

I haven’t managed to get mine out so was just going to use piggybacks in the front face and use an empty slot like No.41.
No not yet, photos are from a fusebox pulled out of a wrecked van
Oh ace, legend cheers!
My fear is if I slide the purple tab with it insitu and accidentally pull other wires out the back when trying to get the new wires in then I’m properly screwed. So if I can’t get the box out fully then I’ll piggyback from the front and be done with it.
No worries, and don’t worry about the purple tab and connectors falling out! The purple tab stops accidental removal for all pins and holds them tight. To remove a connector you would also need a de pinning tool to release the two sprung tabs that each pin has. The connectors can’t be removed without this.
See the two little tabs where I’ve highlighted red
DubHaus covered your concern about them falling out.
I use one of these however you often get similar thing in the trim tool sets you can buy

I’ve managed to get the fuse box out far enough so I can access fuse 41 from the rear and also pull the purple tab down. But typically the repair cables I bought don’t seem to fit in these slots.
They are ok for standard size fuse slots but not the midi fuse slots. Although I was led to believe the connections were the same size.
Anyone got any spare close to Cheshire? Think they should look like the below…

Is this the correct terminal ?

Just tried one and definitely doesn’t go in
MTA style on left, VW on right
they look very similar but are different size to VW type. VW terminal is face is 4.3mmx3.1mm and the MTA style is 4.5mmx3.7mm not a lot in it but enough that it doesn’t fitTerminals for mini-blade fuses
Is this the correct terminal ?

Thanks very much for trying.
Any idea where I can get the VW terminals from? Do I have to go direct to VW?
The part numbers for the terminals are >> HERE << and you should be able to get them from eBay Amazon etc. fairly quickly
Where you based? I’m in folkestone Kent and got a fair few of all sizes as well I tend to buy an old fuse box and canabilse so always got loads left over

They seem to fit into the slot but I can’t for life of me get them to click into place. I’ve tried crimping them on two different thickness of wire and no luck. Any tips?
