Fuse number is correct ..but are you checking the one in the main fuse box or the battery fuse box ? G4 Gone ...but not forgotten

I know this is stupid butIll ask anyway. Your not on the low fuel warning light are you. Mine does not come on if fuel light on. No matter how low the temp. Full it up and off it goes.

I've had a few instances where my FBH will NOT fire up at all
I'm also having a problem with the fuel gauge not indicating correctly (and sometimes registering empty with the orange light)
Although there IS fuel in the tank, if the gauge is up to no good, would this possibly prevent the FBH from firing up too?

Since fitting my remote FBH setup I've had a couple of occasions where it has refused to fire up on the timer, but started normally when the car was started. No idea why.

Do try swapping the fuse or testing it with a meter whilst in the fusebox; I have had them crack rather than blow and it's impossible to see the break through the plastic. I assume it's metal fatigue or something. Dr. Ian Malcolm:
"Yeah, but your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should."

My one is situated right in front of the battery.... but no obvious signs of a flame/reset switch or how to get in about the gubbins of it.
Cheers.

Hi Guys
ipuchased a disco 3 and the FBH didnt work i followed the advise of removing the fuse and disconnecting but this made no difference , i then booked it in at the dealers who where very helpfull, apparently there is an update or mod for the ecu and since that has been done its works great. (didnt even get charged) hope this helps

Unnecessary quote removed
Well, I hope that is the case sopjas as I am having no success with any of the recommended fixes. Tried everything mentioned and still no sound of it cranking into life. Taken the plug out, left it for a couple of mins and replaced. Swapped the fuse over for a new one.
I will speak to the dealer tomorrow and see what they say.... it may be as you say, it just needs a remap (touch wood).
*EDIT* OK, spoke to the tech at my local dealer and they wanna charge me £85 + VAT to hook it up to the diagnostics. Is it worth it or would I be cheaper sourcing a 2nd hand unit and/or taking off the old one and getting it checked out?
Arrrgh!  If in doot, flat oot!!

I have tried every thing on this site to get it working even pluged my freinds working one into mine still no luck. i can honestly say that since its been in to the dealer it works fine !
£85 is cheaper than a new unit wich may need dealer visit to set up????????????
Heaters warm up very quick now !

Hi, when a fault is stored in FBH is not possible to clear without IDS (or other diagnostic tool).

The error lockout mode can be cleared using T4, or by disconnecting the battery power supply
(connector C0926) for a minimum of 10 seconds. G4 Gone ...but not forgotten
