12volt socket on C5

Post by JohnD »

Anybody know the fuse number for the 12volt socket at the rear of the load compartment on a Mk2 C5 Estate?

If it’s like the Mk I, the book says F9 in the glove box, 30A green:
Electric front windows – Sun roof - 12 volt accessories socket (in boot) – Boot height control (supply)

Thanks for your input Clogzz but on Mk2's the F9 is for cigar lighter - and that fuse is intact.

Not easy I'm afraid if they are like the XM, I don't think in 15 years of ownership I have found that all the fuses given match the stated uses, this is not just Haynes but also in the Citroen handbook. Just take them out one at a time and check for a duff one.

Which is what I did. First the engine compartment box. They were all intact. Then the glove box board. They too were all OK. Google threw up the information that there is another row of fuses above the diagnostic socket. G38 - the one Haynes and the Citroen handbook says is for the RH electric seat was blown. Replacing it has the 12 volt socket working again.
