   Hello!
   
   Basically my fag lighter has stopped working due to it being short'd. Therefore the horn and back window has stopped working aswell.
   
   I know its F5 fuse which needs replacing. But 1) What fuse is it, different diagrams on this forum/manuals. So where abouts is the actual fuse in the box which i need to replace?
   
   2) What size fuse do i need? Ive been reading about and getting 20/30amp but theres no proper answer.
   
   Can anyone help please?
   
   PS - I have used the search feature, but im being mislead by different opinions of people.

   Cheers for that, already read it though.
   
   Its kind of what i was trying to explain in my post above.
   
   That chart shows i need a 30amp for the F5 fuse. However haynes and other forum members says 20amp?
   
   EDIT: The handbook/manual says 30amp, but the fuse should be the same colour as alraedy in there (which is a yellow one? Which im guessing is 20amp, because iv got 30amps which are green?)

   this might be a stupid question, maybe ive read something wrong but can't you just check which fuse has gone and swap it? or is there no fuse in there
