Blown a Fuse!

HEADRAT · 4 Apr 2009 at 19:25

Hi,

Seem to have blown a fuse on my Z4!

I currently have no SATNAV or dash lights and DSC warning light is on. Interestingly the indicators are working there is just no tick tick tick or indication on the dash.

Fuse card shows instrument cluster is 12,23,24 so I might just get brand new fuses for these.

Also the speedo and rev counter don't work so I'm guessing it's all to do with the "Instrument Cluster" which is fuse 12,23,24. I've now basically pulled & checked every fuse but I guess they might still have gone it might just be hard to see!

I'm wondering if there is some kind of "master fuse" for the interior?

Cheers

Just replace the fuses mate, obviously making sure they are the correct rating. See what happens.

OK I seem to have everything back but the DSC warning indicator is illuminated and the handbrake warning light is always amber (actually I think that might be an indication of the failure of ASC/DSC).

Also the runflat indicator refuses to go off even when I hold down the button on the centre console.

ASC/DSC are fuses 7,24,42,43 so I will replace those tomorrow.

Not sure what to do about the runflat indicator, can't find a fuse for that one

Why don't you try other fuses that do work (ie other ones in the board), in slots 12,23,24? Then you'll know.

Alternatively, use a bit of welding rod.

Nah I'll just get some more fuses tomorrow to replace the ones for the ASC/DSC, couple of 5 amps and a couple of 30 amps, can't see that they've blown but I guess I'll start worrying after they're replaced with new.

Sounds like a wheel speed sensor, that'd explain the combination of lights - the tyre pressure monitoring uses them too to detect punctures.

I'll buy a few fuses and replace them one by one if needs be.

Changing fuses won't fix it

They'll probably blow again...
