C5 fuses

Post by **Duracell** » 21 Jul 2007, 18:05

Can anybody tell me which fuse supplies the 12v accessories socket between the front seats on a 2003 C5 HDi SX? - the socket does not work following my grandson filling it up with coins, but the fuse that the handbook suggests protects this socket ( F7 in dashboard 20amp) is ok - Am I missing something?

Thanks

I know this is an old post , but just in case nobody replied!

I had the exact same problem on my 2001 estate , I checked all fuses in situ and traced it to a blown 'F10 15A battery +' replaced it and got power to both front and rear auxilary sockets rear height control and the obd socket (allways did wonder why that didn't work!!)

I think the confusing thing is why some fuses share ignition and permanent supplies, I suspect it's to do with sensing current draw for 'eco mode'

I must admit to having the car for 3 months, had checked all the obvious fuses even put an obd reader on it, which wouldn't work!, before taking a tester and went through every fuse while still in situ, took me about 2 minutes to trace the fault.
