need4speed Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Amongst other jobs im also in the (laboriously slow) process of trying to wire up my 110. Now according to RAVE, the 1999 td5 has fuseboxes in 2 flavours. 1 being the "passenger compartment" fusebox, and the other being the "engine compartment" fusebox. Fair enough. However both of the parts diagram sites that i use (allbrit and numcat) state the fuseboxes as being "under seat" and "under bonnet" fuseboxes. Common sense dictates that "passenger compartment" = "under seat", and that "engine compartment" = "under bonnet", however ive come to realize that lucas and common sense dont necessarily go hand in hand! Additionally, what in that case is the fusebox just above the transmission tunnel known as? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve200TDi Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Hi, I have a 1999 TD5 90 so the fuse box locations maybe the same as yours. The first one is behind the gear sticks on the bulkhead (the standard ones that all defenders have). The second one is in the seatbox under the drivers seat along with the ECU. Mine has about 6 big fuses (60 - 100amps) and another row of about 8 of the normal 'blade' type fuses. Hope that helps, I could take a picture if that helps and then send it to via email as I can't post pics! Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orgasmic Farmer Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Am guessing the engine compartment one is the one found under the seats. This would appear to be the same type as found on 300 tdi models (defender and disco) where it is in the engine bay. They are easy enough to pick up 2nd hand and make great auxiliary take off points for extra circuits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Engine comp. fuse box is under the seat, passenger comp. fusebox in normal place below dash forward of gear levers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
need4speed Posted January 7, 2013 Author Share Posted January 7, 2013 So let me see if ive got this right? The engine compartment fusebox is actually in the seatbox? So then what is the under-bonnet fusebox if it isnt in the engine compartment lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 engine comp & under bonnet are probably the same thing just different terminology Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
need4speed Posted January 7, 2013 Author Share Posted January 7, 2013 Nah that cant be it Ralph. Check out numcat. It clearly shows 2 totally different fuseboxes. 1 under seat and 1 under bonnet. None of which is the standard fusebox in front of gearlever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 there's only 2 shown in RAVE for 1999 td5, but numcat shows under seat with fusible links & fuses http://www.numcat.ru/landrover/p/31/52855/ engine bay with maxi fuses http://www.numcat.ru/landrover/p/31/52854/ the passenger comp fusebox is part of the main dash area harbess as per older 90/110.

steve200TDi Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 under seat with fusible links & fuses http://www.numcat.ru/landrover/p/31/52855/ This is the one I have under my seat in the seat box in my 1999 TD5 90. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orgasmic Farmer Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 which is the same as found under the bonnet of 300tdi defenders and Discos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
