08 Toyota Avensis D4D Fuse problem

maddladd

Hi Guys, while trying to change a tail light bulb I managed to blow a fuse which knocked out tail lights and front parking lights as well as inside beam indicator, think the fuse box is located under the steering wheel to right but can't seem to find it took out the panel which shows fuse details but can't see fuses block inside. Can anyone help me think it's a 20A fuse will investigate more tomorrow in daylight.
Thanks L

Have you the owners manual? It'll tell you where the fuse is BUT from memory, the fuse you're looking for is actually behind the glovebox on that car.

Some behind glovebox, some under the bonnet on the passenger side.

Try under the bonnet first, they're way more accessible

I'm pretty sure this one is behind the glovebox Colm. Had the same problem in the same car & nearly the same year. The moral of the story is - leave the lightswitch to OFF when changing the bulbs!!

The only piece of advice I could give is take a photo of the damper on the passenger side of the glovebox as you'll never remember how it goes back on.

There's a wee bit of a knack to getting the glovebox off alright (and indeed back on!) but it's not too bad.

I agree on the damper. It's got a slightly unusual movement to it!!

A-data says it's fuse 2 (10amp) in the fascia (dash) fusebox..:)
If you can make out the diagram you should find it o.k.

Btw is your rear foglamps..number plate lights are on the same circuit..so check these also..;)
