   If it was a blown fuse then it surely wouldn`t work at all.

   Any idea which fuse?
   
   I've checked the diagram in the particularly helpful user's manual and it never even mentions the PAS, so was just wondering if anyone knew exactly which fuse it was to save me checking all of them. (Only ask 'cause it's p1551ng down outside!!)

   Had a break in the weather so went out to check the interior fuses, and all seem fine, so I'll check the engine bay fuses at lunch!!

    I saw on the other thread someone said it was M8, but that's fine in mine.
    
    Looks like I'll be doing the mod when I get home, unless it miraculously sorts itself out on the way!!
