   I am not sure on where the fuse is but it would be worth an investment into a Haynes manuel, have you also checked the "rear demister, heater blowers, powersteering" Fix, Also could be the Relay which is located virtually on the PAS pump.

   all that is not working (rear demister, heater blowers, and power steering) could that be a relay and where is it located?

   if all three are not working (the pas, heater blower, and rear demister) would it be the relay right next to the pas pump?

   fuse for power steering is on the chassis leg in a black plastic holder, inside face of leg on passenger side near pump, not noticed one on mk2s but have on mk1s

    Samething happened on my mk1 VTR, believe it quite common. Had it for a month and it just worked again. Although the thread say's draining the battery, if it works, is it not worth doing.
