[...] I have seen posts about this problam and some folks say that there is a fuse for the 12v under the left seat, do you know anything about that?
ReplyDelete"So here you go:
Under passenger seat (UK version - I am not sure is it the same in EU version) you may find few fuses.
But first you have to remove the drawer
You will find on both sides clips which have to be pushed in and the you will easy remove the drawer
Fuses and relay are placed in pretty difficult place to reach, however using the plies will help you to get to the fuse.
Fuse responsible for power in the armrest is pointed by an arrow

Simply step by step how do to do it.
thx
You will need a socket with pretty much extension
Light switch does not work and there is no power in cigarette lighter
Disconnect the power source wire
Two extra bolt under plastic covers
Check the plug for rust
Light switch
1 of the electrical lamellae is snapped, to small to precise to be fixed so it has to be replaced (not worth it)
Now it is time for cigarette lighter socket:
Needs to be cleaned
Time for a test
It works
Likes and comment are welcome ;)

Hi I have a problem where the light turns on when I close the sliding cover, I've stripped everything out and can't find the reason, other than I'm missing the small black thing at the top of you photo 9th from the bottom. What is this piece and is it the reason my light is reversed?
ReplyDeleteAlso thank you so much for this blog really helped my take apart the armrest console!
Deletehi
ReplyDeleteplease give a closer look to pict 11 and 12 from bottom and also 8 from top. That's clearly shows how the switch works.
Photo 9 I'm not sure as it was a while ago and I don't have that car anymore.
thanks
It just sucks...I've spent 2 hours playing with a multimeter and this 12V socket. Every time I built it together it works fine, but when connecting something to it, it stops.
ReplyDeleteSame with that stupid light. It worked once, then nothing. I hate such small electronics where everything you touch just ruins it. Good luck to others with this shit.
Btw, great blog! Thanks for the photos.
ha ha ha
DeleteGood luck and thanks
hi - in your first diagram where you say fuse for armrest - do you mean centre console presumably?
ReplyDeleteAnd what are the other fuses - do you know - I cant find a diagram anywhere!
