Poll-fan fuse on battery melted/replaced or not?

[matt27]

thanks for your help

the oxford dealer gave me the part number 1J0 937 617C, the Kent dealer's wanted to know the battery amp power first - gave both of them my chassis number.

I have no idea what the amp power is? I think I need the

Fuse box:
1J0 937 555 cover for fuse holder
for models with battery: 44AH

I bought and fitted a Halfords battery last year:

Halfords Calcium Battery HCB063
Startup Power: 440 Amps
AH Value: 44
Reserve Capacity: 80
Bench Charge: 4.4 Amps
Weight (kg): 11.68


Sorry and many thanks again!

update: AC and fans still auto starting and not turning off, so definitely not the battery fuse box to blame.

Also with the new fuse box part, it takes a lot of strength to push in the fuse and pry it out, so this seems to be normal and does not indicate a fault. Time to start saving for another car, am not going to bother taking it to a garage for repair, I suspect a repair will be very pricey if they can find out what's wrong with it!

Replaced my whole fuse box due to melting.

time for a new one then....

 

[manzfield]

but it is a new fuse or am just gonna have to fork out for a new one anyway!? seems ok at the mo..

from that pic it looks more broken than melted. Either way i think you should replace it out.

My fans dont work atall... i was thinking its the fan switch?

My cars done 56k miles, but.. the fuse board on top looks perfect??

 

[sssstew]

have you pulled out the fuses and checked as well?

 

[Cammy]

One had slight melting (3rd across - the one nearest passanger wing fuse) is that the fan one?? Is it worth getting a spare one from the scrappy??

 

[sssstew]

yeah, i would be looking at replacing it.

 

[Cammy]

So even a slight melt would make it not work??

 

[sssstew]

on the surface its a slight melt but its underneath that probably most of the damage is done.

The melted fuse holder has probly ruined the connection between the fuse and the prongs it slots into! You can get away without changing the whole thing but you will need to disconect the wires that go to that fuse a rewire them into a seperate fuse holder...like what you see on a stereo amp power lead that is the fan fuse though.

My fans are melting the new fusebox again slightly,
people say its resistors in the fan but are resistors located seprately?
