Right, we'll start with a still of the passenger side dashboard end panel.
You can prize it off with a very thin (old fashioned ) steel knife blade. Just work your way slowly up the rear of the black panel.
Then the fun begins. I suggest you start at the bottom and pull the rubber seal back as you prize the lip of the black panel out from behind the rubber.
(Refitting it is really fun, NOT)
Don't worry about the airbag switch it can be disconnected by depressing the tongue on the wire side of the switch. (press the red bit on the yellow connector in the picture) inside there are plenty of bolts (spline drive but luckily also with hex heads) that could be used as an earth.
Hopefully there will be a video below. I am downloading to computer using bluetooth so it is taking forever.
I'm afraid it is not very good as I had to wear a head torch and and it is very dark with black plastic. Hold the 'phone and do all the above mentioned manoeuvres single handed. So basically Cecil B De Mille I ain't! :lol:
I find the best way to remove the damper strut is finger and thumb. Once that is loose.
Depress the side 'blob' (they are designed to push back) on the out side end. once it is free you have to twist the door, otherwise it will click back on again.. Then holding the door twisted with your left hand , depress the 'blob' on th right side of the door .
Et voila! the door flops down exposing the fuses. I use a pair of artery forceps to pull the fuses as they are much easier to control and are, of course, 6 inches long.
I will be using the rear wiper fuse which, in the handbook is number 40 and on the fuse board is, I think (check first) the blue 15 amp fuse. This is about the only one where it is easy to use a 'piggyback' fuseholder with wire tail.
Should be 'cooked' by 14.00hrs today, still uploading. I give up on Botophukit. It is having yet another off day today!
