Hi all. I have to replace the dashboard 12V supply fuse in our 2019 Ducato PVC because it blew while powering a tyre pump. Does anyone know if the fuse box in the engine compartment can be opened and accessed without removing the nearside headlamp? Looks like it may be possible, although I have seen a YouTube video where a very informative guy recommended removing the headlamp to make it easier. I'd rather not remove the headlamp if I can avoid it. Pouring down at the moment so I am trying to plan ahead for tomorrow. Thanks for any comments.
 
Just had it confirmed by Fix&Go that their Sensor tyre pump and sealant combo which caused my problem has an operating amperage of 15A, so no wonder it blew the cigar lighter’s 15A fuse. This makes it unusable, so why did Hymer supply it with the Ducato?

If you still want to use the pump (without blowing the vans fuses) You could replace the socket plug type power supply on the end of the pump wiring lead
with a pair of battery clip on type of connectors and use them on the jump start points ,that are under the bonnet , when you want to use the tyre pump (this is how the heavy duty air pumps are connected when they are used)

Thanks for that tip. I’d also have to lengthen the cable to reach the rear tyres.
