Electrical problem

[andrew1608]

Last weekend i went to fit a bluetooth car kit, i looked at the my handbook and it shows the stereo connections ( 2001 rapeir saloon) the book shows a mute connection so i took a circuit test pen and i could not get the sound to mute on any of the connections. I have now got an autolead telemute cable and went to a local car stereo install shop to get them to check connections, i commented on the mute and they tell me that my stereo does not have a mute on the stereo, and that it mutes through the autolead cable. However after using the tester pen i have discovered that my lighter now does not work without the ignition where as it did before. The fuse in the fuse box is not blown. Can anyone help.

Fuse 1 - there's room for it to be in one of 2 positions so move it to the other position

[andrew1608]

whch slot should it otherwise be in and which voltage is the fuse

[mjb]

All the fuses are 12v. The slots for fuses 1 and 16 have 3 holes each so the fuses can be put in an up or down position. If you have a look you'll see what I mean. In one position it's a permanent live and the other it's live with ignition.

According to my handbook the lighter is Fuse 23 and it should be 20A.

Mine isn't fuse one but elsewhere there's two fuses that seem to have two positions, they both seem to be fast blowing with no rating. I can't find my handbook (which is in Italian anyway) so I tried service box, the pics don't load though, is that just me?

Bugger I missed the '2001' part. What I said only applies to D8s evidently

Should be 10A.
