Am I right in thinking there is a set of fuses under the bonnet? There must be something there. I can't honestly remember if I'm thinking of the 350Z though...

Correct, i would rather not have to run a live feed through the bulk head but it may be the only way.

There are a few, but i think they are always live being so close to the battery.

You probably could have guessed it would be me too :lol:

If no one can think of one then maybe it's time to look under the bonnet with a multimeter.
