Fuses
88 Fuses are simple circuit breakers which
protect electrical equipment by preventing the
electrical circuits from being overloaded.
Always remove the starter key and switch off
the affected circuit before removing a fuse.
Press the fuse extractor (located on the inside
of the main fuse box cover) onto the head of
the fuse and pull to remove. Fit a new fuse of
the same rating. If the replacement fuse fails
immediately, contact your local Land Rover
dealer and have the circuit checked.
