Can someone please tell me what fuse 21 provides power for ?

I've currently got a 0.3 amp drain via this fuse with the ignition off.

Any help would be appreciated :-)

Still waiting for my manual to be delivered, so working a bit blind !



Thanx
Kevin

0.3A is just about the consumption of the boot lamp.

Thanks guys

Just got a chance to look at it. Looks like it was a broken glovebox lamp holder !

Better add one of those to the list of bits Bob, i'll be in touch tomorrow.


I'm still left with a 0.09 Amp current draw which appears to be alarm and radio

Is this normal ?

90mA is on the high side, but just about acceptable.
