Centre consol smoking!!!!

(1/3) > >>

simon15:
Right went out the tip yesterday to get rid of a load of crap and my heaters had packed up.

So got back checked all the fuses and it had melted the fuse!!!!

so replaced it with a 10A fuse which was in there and now everytime I put a new fuse in start the car the centre consol pours out with smoke and the fuse has melted again!!!!!!


the backing panel says that a 20A fuse should be use is this correct and will it solve the problem.

any help would be greatful :)

gtomo2:
No dont put a 20 amp fuse in if its smoking you have a short somewere in the wiring or heatermotor itself. check the wiring under the centre conslue. but think it may be a duff motor pulling to much current. sort the problem out first then put the corect fuse in until then dont put a fuse in or you stand a risk of the car catching fire :shock:

simon15:
when I replaced the fuse yesterday I checked that the heater etc was working and it all was. but got in it this morning and had to rip the fuse out again :(

ill have a check through all the wiring but I gather there is no way of checking if its a dodgy motor??

gtomo2:
ok  is the fuse holder got any sign of melting on it or is it just the fuse. asif its the fuse that is melting something is drawing to much current but not surging as to blow the fuse is it ok with the heater switch off or does it still smoke then

simon15:
Its just the fuse itself melting.!

not sure if it happens when heater is off. it did yesterday but this morning I turned the heater on as I started it.
