Where is the A4010 fuse box?

Post by B21 » Sun Jan 16, 2022 7:53 pm

Think I may have blown one or two fuses located in the A4010 fuse box.

NewTis shows it on the RHS on LHD cars.

On a RHD car is it on the LHS?

I think I recall it's a pig to get to?

Anybody been there?

3 screws behind the glovebox, slide out and there is a hand screw towards the left hand side, unscrew give it a wiggle and down it drops.

Assuming it is that fuse box

There is some kind of black box / module clipped onto the tray you remove, need to make sure it's relocated properly when you put it back in, locate the square and twist. If you don't get it quite right it will start making an annoying squeak :thumbsup:

Ah yes the same chap that put the diverter valve on the back of the N20 Turbo so that it's impossible to remove without dropping the whole turbo assembly.. :thumbsup:

I'm sure we could go on.. :tumbleweed: :rofl:

Also lovingly referred to as "the fusebox from hell" in my experience... :thumbsdown:

Fortunately it turned out that it was one of the two multi-way connectors either on the ASD unit or the amp that wasn’t seated correctly.

Audio restored and no need to go where boys fear to go..thanks for the advice anyway :thumbsup:
