it says in the haynes manual that there is an inline fuse in the engine compartment bulkhead (15a) that covers the hazzards and interior light - neither of these things are working in my car so im assuming that may be the problem - i had a look earlier though and i couldnt see the fuse - where abouts is it so i know where to look?

You should find this fuse along with 2 or 3 others, tucked away underneath, around halfway along the scuttle panel

cheers mate, i'll have another look tomorrow

i had a look tonight and there are 2 wires with inline fuses there and 1 which looks like it may have come apart (there is an orange wire and an orange wire with purple stripe) - does this sound like the right wire, i wanted to check before i join them up

Sounds right - check the wiring diagram to confirm the wire colours (I've just had a similar problem - rear fog inline fuse holder and the wiring to the Hazard fuse were both falling apart, all nicely hidden by the air cleaner!).

In-Line Fuses situated behind air-filter on the bulkhead:-


15amp - Purple/Orange Wire
Hazard Warning & Interior Lamps


15amp - Brown/Orange Wire
Dim-Dip Lighting


10amp - Blue/Orange Wire
Rear Fog Guard Lamps


15amp - Blue/Red Wire
Auxiliary Cooling Fan (where fitted)


Standard 4 fuse box mounted on the bulkhead:-


1 1-2 35amp Brake Lights, Reverse Lights, Direction Indicators & Rear Screen Demister.

2 3-4 25amp Horn, Headlamp Flasher, Brake Failure Circuit & Radio Memory.

3 5-6 25amp Heated Blower Motor, Windscreen Wipers, Washer Motor & Instruments.

4 7-8 15amp Side & Tail Lights, Panel Lights & Instruments.


1-2 These circuits only operate with the ignition switch at position "II".

5-6 These circuits only operate with the ignition switch at position "I" or "II".

Hope this helps?

Thought I'd drag this post up from my searches....


...can anyone offer further advice as to how to find the flipping inline fuses?! My hazards and interior lights not working but can't find the inline fuse, what is the best way to get at it? Got a 1991 Rover Mini City....

Cheers fella, much appreciated. All sorted now, hazards and interior lights working. My lights that run on the top fuse went out yesterday for about 5 minutes so removed the fuse box and gave that a good clean this morning, hopefully the clean has sorted it out, if not I'll assume it is the fuse that is dirty and replace it for the massive fee of 15p from my local general store!

For someone who has never been under a bonnet before I'm quite chuffed with what I've achieved in 45 minutes this morning, thanks for the help.

Tomorrow if the weather is right the hair dryer and I are going to get those horrible city stickers off and the green stripe down the side!
