Hi All,
I am new to this forum and hope that someone can help me out. I have purchased an electric cooler. When I plug it into any of the 2 12V sockets, it works but when I lock the car and leave, it switches off. I understand the difference between constant and switched fuses, so the fuse for the 12V sockets must be switched.
I have found 2 different diagrams of fuse boxes for RHD vehicles. Both diagrams have the exact same layout but do not have the same number of fuses.
One is for a fuse box on the right hand side of the vehicle, this does not show that there should be a fuse for the 12Vsockets in location F46. In fact, when checking this fusebox there is no fuse.
The other diagram for fuseboxes on the left hand side of the vehicle shows a 20A fuse in location F46.
I have found the fusebox on the RHS. Is there supposed to be another fusebox on the LHS, if so where is it located?
If there is a LHS fuxebox with a 20A fuse in location F46, what neeeds to be done to change it from switched to constant?
I would appreciate any help.
Thanks
