Blown fuse

Hello all - I have a 2023 Warwick XL - I was inflating the tyres through the cigar lighter socket (engine running) but have blown the fuse. I know it's not the pump as the socket is usually used for the satnav and that's not working either so conclude I've blown the fuse. Can someone advise me where I find the fuse please?? Many thanks Al Brown

Your Boxer/Fiat handbook should have that information. I believe those may not be issued any more and you have to download from Internet.
Just Google it, lots of pdf versions available.

Thank you Paul. I'll give that a go.

Once you’ve got the fuse sorted you might want to consider a compressor that connects directly to the vehicle battery positive and negative (chassis) connections in the engine compartment. The RAC900 compressor by Ring is one example. Achieving the higher pressures on a 3.5t van tyre with a compressor plugged into a 12V socket will put you on the limit of what the socket can cope with.

There are two sockets on the dash of Seville vans, the cigar lighter and a power socket, I run my inflator if the one marked 150w with the engine running and have had no problem with fuses, having said that I recently bought a cordless inflator from Ryobi that uses the battery that came with my lawn mower, copes admirably with high pressures and is almost as fast as using pumps at local Asda fuel station.

If you haven’t sorted yet this may help.[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

Sorry for repeats.    Finger trouble.
I know it’s for earlier vans but may put you in correct fuse panel.

Believe it or not, for 2023 vans the fuse locations aren't specified in the FIAT handbook, it just says:-

189) Replacement of a fuse. All work may be performed only by a Fiat Dealership or a qualified repair workshop. The replacement of a fuse by a third party may cause a serious vehicle fault.

If someone knows the correct locations on a FIAT, I'd like to know! 

Thank you to all for the advice. I still haven't sorted the fuse out but, as she's due an oil change soon, I'll get them to do it and let you know where and how. In the meantime I intend to buy a Ring cordless pump which looks good and, again, give some feedback on that.

The handbook is hopeless in this respect. I appreciate these vehicles are complex and that it would be unwise to replace a fuse repeatedly without thought to why it’s failed. The first thing to check in any circuit if there is a problem is the fuse and if it’s blown, to see if a replacement solves it.

I’ve got a 2019 Ducato and the information in the link below appears to apply. Maybe different for your 2023 Ducato but you’ll find the information on line. I carry 3 different sizes of blade fuse in various ratings to match those fitted, along with several higher current fuses that fit onto threaded terminal posts. If one of the latter blew I would think hard and do some investigating with a meter before replacing it!

Hi folks
Further to my last - and to stop me blowing up the whole fuse board - I bought a Ring RTC6000 rechargeable pump. Bloomin marvellous and well recommended.
Thank you for all of your suggestions.
Take care

Hi I have a Peugeot boxer auto sleeper 2018 and while inflating the tyre with a normal tyre pressure machine it blew the cigarette lighter fuse. I had to go to a Peugeot dealer to get the fuse sorted because it is under the bonnet behind the left light unit!!! Too big a job for me so the dealer did £10 just for labour he said. Thanks I said and I was on my way 1/2 hour later!!!!

I took the van into Peugeot for an oil change and asked them to change the fuse which, I assume, should be a simple job if you're a qualified technician. They wanted £40. I declined their offer and will be less lazy and get my hands dirty.
