Where is fuse?

[monzer]

I always carry spare fuses even the large ones

You should be fine if one blows then

Not being rude or criticising here, but for safety reasons, you need to urgently clean up the fuses and around. Overheating fuses can and have caused debris around them to catch fire

Yeah will do. Like I say pretty sure the air con leak has made it that bad.

Is that fuse position not covered normally? If not it only goes to confirm my long held suspicions that Ducato and other French associated marques all have rubbish electrics.
I have a similar fusing arrangement on my VW T6 but it's all in a sealed box along with the engine ECU and many relays etc.

I'm not sure if it originally was. The fuse box on the other side is boxed in plastic with a fabric cover over it.

The leak I had in my aircon pipe is right next to where all this electrical jiggery pokey is situated so I'm wondering if that's contributed to the messy connections.

The fix is holding so far though. Got a good whack of miles down today.

Losing power in the autobahn is not something I want to repeat.

A refrigerant leak usually takes the compressor oil out with it slowly, molecule by molcule, it's a sign we look for on pipework etc, but your fuses just look dirty

I'll give them a power wash when I get home. Not long to wait now as long as nothing else goes wrong.

The big fuse is a Mega fuse, as said already. The slightly smaller ones are Midi fuses. Available from automotive electrics suppliers, like 12VoltPlanet or Altec Automotive.

You really don't want to do that, that is likely to cause far more problems.
Take the fuses out and give everything a stiff brush with contact cleaner.

Get a length of string, cloth strip or insulation tape.
Pull the broken terminal back into place then wrap the string/cloth or insulation tape around the two studs to hold it in place.
That should stop it making and breaking contact at least.
