Fuses
113
Fuses are simple circuit breakers which
protect electrical equipment by preventing the
electrical circuits from being overloaded.
Always remove the starter key and switch off
the affected circuit before removing a fuse.
Press the fuse extractor (located on the inside
of the main fuse box cover) onto the head of
the fuse and pull to remove. Fit a new fuse of
the same rating. If the replacement fuse fails
immediately, contact your local Land Rover
dealer and have the circuit checked.
WARNING
Fit only replacement fuses of the same
rating and type. Always rectify the cause of
a failure before replacing a fuse. Seek
qualified assistance if necessary.
Fuses are colour coded to help identify their
amperage, as follows:
TAN 5
RED 10
BLUE 15
YELLOW 20
GREEN 30 (air conditioned models
only)
The main fuse box is fitted in the centre of the
dashboard, in front of the main gear lever.
Remove the cover by releasing the fixing
screws.
A label in the fuse box cover shows the
circuits protected, the fuse ratings and their
locations. They are also listed on the following
page.
