Pulling Fuses to Reset Controls and Solve Electrical Issues

[Viktorgeorge]

Though I have had no need yet, I have taken note of several posts about pulling fuses to reset a T6.1 California, because it seems to me that it might one day save me a lot a hassle.

Please correct or add as appropriate, but as I understand it there are two possible 'pulls':

In the event of an "Error: Auxiliary Heater" on the screen above the rear view mirror: pull wait and replace the fuse under passenger seat here:



Or, for the same issue plus for all other issues when the electrics freeze or work incorrectly, pull the four fuses under the steering wheel 5, 6, 7 & 8 here (i.e. adjacent to the 646 box):



But, would this be: with (i) ignition off; (ii) ignition on; or, (iii) ignition on and engine running? I suspect it is the last.

Also, my T6.1 manual does not appear to have a fuse diagram (which surprised me) does a fuse diagram exist for recent T6.1 California? In resources there are diagrams for earlier models.

I link to the various posts I have found on this below:

T 6.1 Ocean control panel reset

I always found it easier to just to pull the positive lead off the starter battery for a few seconds to reset everything.

Thank you @andyinluton . Presumably that would be with ignition off but the car unlocked?
