Carrera A/C Fuse / Relay Questions (One more time...)
I removed the A/C last year and am wondering about the fuse & relay on the fuse panel.
  The schematic states that fuse number 2 is for booster fan, A/C, & electric seats. Since both seat switches don't work can I just remove this fuse? I'm asking because of the copper conductors linking fuses 2, 3 & 4. Will removal of fuse two have an adverse effect on 3 & 4 as a result? Also - Would removal of the A/C relay on the fuse panel have any effect on fuses 3 & 4 as well? Your thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks, Kato Last edited by KatoKato; 07-24-2007 at 11:59 AM..

The links are on the hot side vs the lower fused side, so they will have no impact on fuse removal. Relay #6 is for the AC condenser blow & looks safe to remove too. Ian

So why are those links placed like that? Do they supply power in parallel across fuses 2, 3, &4? |

Re: Fuse#2 Do you know what 'booster fan' the schematic is referring to? (I am assuming that it is A/C related) There is also a relay at position 'F' (or close to that position) for this booster fan as well. Kato |

All 3 fuses are constant power from battery, big supply wire, not switched by ignition, and jumpers are on the non-fused side. So you could take it out...
But why not just leave the fuse in there? It might make a nice spare to get you home someday.... ditto for the AC relay...

True enough .... I am just trying to reduce the chance of a short with these dangling plugs at various locations in the car. I suppose that the chances of that occuring are unlikely. Perhaps I'll just leave them in... Besides ... I just checked Bentley and it lists that relay for the power windows. I'll have to check it out.. |
