Question Fuse Problem??

Hi dont know if anyone can help.

Have lost electric folding mirrors, heater and cig lighter.

Checked fuses in drivers footwell and all are ok!

Is there a main fuse for internal bits under the bonnet?
Any other suggestion why they would not be working?

Cheers

Right, I have now located the problem and I have a fuse which keeps blowing for no apparent reason?

Electric mirrors etc... number 4.

So does anyone have any ideas on how to isolate why it would be blowing constantly??

Thanks

l have a diagram that shows no4 fuse as top row 4th fuse in from the left 20 amp. To isolate the problem l would start by unpluging the live from the back of the cigarette lighter if the fuse still blows disconnect the mirrors and so on, that way you can eliminate the bad circuit.

ok so checked 4th fuse along the top row from the left, looks fine, although it is a 15a fuse. Did you mean in the fuse box under the bonnet?
