Rog1945 Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 Hi, the DAB on my mk iv has suddenly died. Could this be fuse related? I’ve had a look at the fuse diagram and looks like it’s no.43. I’m a complete novice when it comes to auto electrics but could a fuse change be done without have to go to the garage? many thanks 😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rog1945 Posted August 8, 2022 Author Share Posted August 8, 2022 Thank you, I’ll talk to my garage. Sounds a bit too techy for me to handle! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanfp Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 just to be absolutely clear, are you saying that it's JUST the DAB that has died and that FM and CD player still work? In which case, it is indeed not the fuse (as Unofix suggested). But to answer your subsidiary question, for future reference, even a 'complete novice' can change a fuse - with the ignition off, just prise the old one out carefully with a medium size flat bladed screwdriver and press the replacement one in. If you've already identified which fuse feeds the radio (assuming you've got that right!) you're well on your way to being a 'partial novice' 😊 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
