   Hi guys.
   
   As above lost power steering and the heating including rear glass.
   
   I've been told that I should check the fuses first. I know where they are but I don't know what fuses to check due to the different ratings (Haynes manual isn't very specific)
   
   Does anyone know what fuses I should check or is it a case or going through them all?
   
   Thanks
   Jack

   Power streering fuse is under the bonnet tbh I have had a few of this brought into Citroen where I work and it is just a case of changing the fuse box under the dash as they burn out

   wow this must be the first time this has ever happened.
   
   I wonder what would happen if some one used the search once in a while.

   There is a wiring fix that has to be done near the wiring under steering wheel cowlings....its very common .Its done by bypassing a switch in the ignition, 2red/2brown wires IIRC, join the 2browns together to bypass but double check on that first!
