12v socket not working but fuses are good
Posted: Thu Jan 19, 2017 12:41 pm
Hi all.
Neither the central console socket nor the one in the boot on my 61reg GT TDi are working. I followed the excellent post on fuses by RW1 and checked fuse SC42 in the side of the dash fuse box. It looked to be intact but I replaced it anyway - no change.
Then I looked at the listings for the engine fusebox as fuse SB30 in my Type A box looks to supply dash fuse 42. That looked good as well but I tried swapping that fuse with SB27 as I didn't have one of those spare. Still no change.
I've checked it's not my USB power adapter by using it in my wife's car.
Any thoughts on where to go next? I did see a post (which I can't now find) from someone who posted "if it's not the fuses see this post" but the link was dead.
Thanks
