V60 Cross Country 12v Aux Supply
Hello all,
I’ve just fitted an 12v socket in the boot of my motor. I’ve installed the socket kit as per the instructions apart from gutting the boot panels (you can do it without removing the inner panels). Everything’s plugged in but no power to the socket. I’ve checked the kit for continuity in case it faulty but that’s ok, I’ve checked the fuse in the boot but there doesn’t seem to be power to the fuse. So is there another fuse in the car apart from the one in the boot? Also, I noticed bits of masking tape attached to the wiring in the boot, is the normal from the factory? There no record of the car being accident damaged. I’m scratching my head with this one, cheers. TT

There’s a 15a fuse that’s listed in the owners manual as the one for the Aux. It’s located in the boot fuse box but there no power to the fuse which makes me think there’s a fuse in one of the other fuse boxes. There’s no other facility for an extra fuse in the boot fuse box as far as I can tell.

It’s listed on my owners manual, I’ll have a shufty at the weekend. I looked at where there dealer told me to look at F8 has no contacts in it so no ball. Looks like the mini fuse is a spare for the fuse block on the wiring loom. Cheers for the info, I’ll report back the weekend

In retrospect, it might just have been easier to pay the dealer the £100 to do the job. I know this probably 'hurts' (as it would me), but in hindsight ...
