    Default Help - Mechanically Retarded

    Please help, I don't have the fuse box lid sticker, to tell which fuse is for what in VL Calais.

    I've googled everywhere, asked people, and no one knows. Ideally I'd really like to know which fuse operates the electric aerial ?

    If not, where I could get hold of a fuse box lid with the diagram attached ?

    Thankyou in advance.

    Fuse number 15, according to the manual it should be 3A or 7.5A, Im assuming its 3A without the power antenna, and 7.5A if it has the Power antenna fitted.

    Try asking around the wreckers for another lid that has the sticker on it.


    (yet another reason VK's are better )

    Yeah, I might pop over there tomorrow and ask, although they haven't had any other VL parts I've asked for so far Which really kind of sucks

    A lot !

    Otherwise I guess I'll have to keep an eye on Ebay, lol

    PS. Do the VK's have the diagram moulded in the lid ?

    Yeah VK's are moulded in the lid, dont know why they'd change it from that.
    Also the diagrams are different for VK and VL so you cant use a VK lid

    But you can use a VL lid on your VK for the smoother look, if you know where all the fuses live anyways

    nath he has a vl calais mate,
    and yeah check your relays. there are no fuses for your windows and central lock
    position 21, 22, 23, 24, all relays but you said none of the two work so #22 power doors and windows circuit breaker the odd one out in your fuse box under the bonnet ( windscreen side third one in from the guard.)
