Hi guys, please help, having just solved my electric aerial problem I appear to have blown a fuse to the radio (I have no power on the "hot at all times" input), according to Haynes it's fuse 19 (10A) and its location is described as the "Junction Block", anybody know where that is?.
The only fuses I have found are the ones just above the accelerator pedal and I can't get at them.
Please help
Cheers
Kevin |

There are more fuses in the engine bay. On the right hand side as you look towards the windscreen, under a black plastic cover. Might be in there?
You should be able to get at the other fuses though?
There are fuse diagrams available online here :

Cheers Stuey, checked the ones under the bonnet and they are all O.K
How easy to get at the footwell fuses, I undid the 10mm nut at the bottom but the fuse box wouldn't shift and I can't reach to remove any of the fuses whilst it is in it's current position.

You shouldn't need a spanner. Just pop the front of the fusebox off (pull the bottom edge of it toward you). No tools required... unless yours is different for some reason? Mine's a 1992 SWB so I would imagine it's the same as yours.
Apologies for the dirt |

Thanks for the picture Stuey, my fuse box is identicle to yours but I seem to have a massive wiring loom just in front of it, makes getting at it very difficult. However I will pesevere and hopefully find the illusive "fuse 19", which I'm now totally convinced is blown as I have no courtesy light, no central locking and no reversing beep, all of which are closely related to Fuse 19.
Cheers

just poped out & had a look in the shogun, identical to stuey's photo, the cover to the fuse box has a diagram for identifying the fuses & the top right 10amp fuse is for the radio. Now this may maynot be No. 19 but according to haynes (don't hold me to it) fuse No 4 & 19 are in the same box.
So get that lid off & check ALL the 10amp fuses (don't pull all the fuses, pull them one at a time & replace each when checked) sorry obvious I know, but better safe than sorry

Thanks Steve, unfortunately my fuse box doesn't have a lid and therefore I don't have the first clue of which fuse is which, except for the info you have just given me, anyone out there got a copy of the picture on the fuse box lid, I would be most grateful
Cheers
