Just looked on ebay , see what u mean now ref the clips on the end of the fuse box, thks again Bow down

Suppose my only concern would be if any wires come loose when I remove the top

Plus can double check with this fuse location link

https://fusesdiagram.com/land-rover/fuses-...ery-3.html

This is for the D4 if it’s any use, know it’s LHD but might be useful

Wonder if F42 ( 30A) Audio unit amplifier ) would be any good as a SWL , as I’ve got the base model with no amp fitted???

Hi pete

Many thks and good to know , plus can also install the other side of the fuse terminal for the heated windscreen washer jets at the same time

However , wondering if it will be easier to pick up the switched live from the passenger glove box, number 42 , then wish to have permanent from the aux battery

Thks as always pete Thumbs Up

I'm fairly experienced with adding/removing terminals from fuse/relay boxes.
I have terminal removal tools.

I have done this on the D3 and it was a nightmare. Very time consuming for only 3 pins or so.
I said to myself I wouldn't do it again.


Yeah fair enough, for the heated jets/screen, you maybe able to add a terminal.

but for aftermarket accessories, I would consider a simpler way.

Hi pete

As always many thks for ur knowledgeable reply Thumbs Up

Does sound like a far easier way would be to use a piggyback fuse, see if it’s possible to tie into the engines fuse box that supplies the wing mirror heating and then leave it well alone , or insert a single terminal connector from the top into the fuse box, seen a pic somewhere I’ll try and find

Doing the same piggyback fuse on the passenger fuse box for my switched live, ie the audio amp circuit which I don’t have fitted , is rated at 30 x amps

Aux battery can easily run a positive into the upper glove box and onto a small aux fuse box

Always appreciate ur feedback back Pete as I know ur extremely knowledgeable and I’m always very grateful to u

Thks again

Hi

Found the pic, hope u don’t mind Wiggs me using it Bow down

This is the kind of thing just for the heated washer jets

Aux battery for permanent live

SWL piggyback from passenger fuse box empty slot

At the end of the day wish to make sure 100% everything is done correctly

Thks as always

Take no notice, I think I’ve dropped a clanger

Getting abit confused as the heated jets I assume have to be timed via a temp control like the mirrors

Enclosed a pic of my fusebox , F12 which is the heated washer jets , that slot is empty

Slot F16 is the mirror circuit and has a 10 amp fuse there

My head hurts Whistle

If you are trying to run a new wire to the bonnet jets then you could use a piggy back fuse into the heated mirror slot.

Assuming the lid will fit back on.

Cheers pete

Apologises got myself in a bit of a muddle as I was thinking about the relay but then looking at the wiring diagram u sent me ages ago , like a doughnut I thought the fuse was before the relay, yeh i know Whistle

Perfect, will do that then, use a piggy back fuse from ( mirror circuit ) F16 , can make a small slot in the side of the fuse boxes plastic, only need a small notch

Also looking I see both the mirror and heated jets have a 10 x amp fuse so assume I use a 10 amp fuse in the piggyback that runs up to the jets and use some 15 x amp wire , is thinwall any good please

Was Just curious about fuse rating as they will both be on the same circuit instead of them suppose to be separate fusing

Bless u for ur continued patients Bow down

Yes.

Don’t know what thin wall is.

The piggy back things have 2 fuses.

In any case using 1 10A would be fine.

Hi

Perfect , here’s also a link ref the thinwall wiring

https://www.autoelectricsupplies.co.uk/product/70/category/114

When I finally get round adding the heated washer jets will do a write up so can help others if they also wish to do the same

Many thks as always Thumbs Up

Hi

So revisiting this as I’ve started to take the dashboard apart and also to pick up my switched ign live for the aux fuse box going in the upper glove box

Fuse 42 is for an amp to which I’ve not got one fitted ,however there is a fuse fitted there

Just wondering if that would be ok to use by installing a piggy back fuse please

Can’t see anything else on that circuit but wished to 100% check

Many thks as always Thumbs Up

Few piccies as well

Found the tool in the pic perfect for removing the upper glove box inner liner

The wires that the previous owner has connected to are for the Nokia Bluetooth module

Going to unwrap the insulating tape to see how they’ve joined the wires

As u look at the upper glove box, left hand red and black wires are from my air battery terminals

RH red wire is from my dual battery aux gauge

I also want to take an aux supply from the back of the radio, but looking at the wiring think it might be better to connect by the passengers footwell connector

Also found the connector for the glove box light

Done some more digging ref fuse F42

Can only see amp on that fuse , so hoping it will be ok to use as an ign live
