Should be a big fuse in the engine bay fusebox ? That's how it is on 5G anyway.

It would seem from a bit of googling that the 4ws fuse under the bonnet is the radio fuse, and that pulling that for 30 secs will reset the system. is this worth a try? or is trying to reset the system without getting an error code first a bad idea?

Again speaking from 5G knowledge, the 4WS fuse is a 40A. Can't see why it would be any different in the 4G.

Try reset the system and then if the code/error/warning light doesn't come back, don't worry about it.

Im hoping that doing a reset will magically make everything ok.

ok, so i had a look under the bonnet and pulled the clock/radio fuse, light still stayed on. there is a 60a (i think) fuse under the bonnet for the 4ws that doesnt look blown, removed that for a minute and no change, although now i have managed to get some error codes.

Not that i can make head nor tail of them! recorded a video which im uploading to youtube so if anyone has any idea what the codes are it would be a great help!

will post the video in approx 15 minutes.

Here is the video, not really sure where each code stops. i thought the first one was a 13 maybe?
