Talk Morgan Forums Thread Like Summary - Morgan 4/4 2006 model Cut out

Hi
I wonder if anyone can help
I drove my late husbands car last night
Turned on the lights, heater and fan
A mile down the road everything cut out
I have recovered it home but only have immobiliser and hazard working
Battery is new, car has been run weekly
This did happen once before and my husband changed the fuse
I have found the fuse box under the dash but not sure which fuse to check
Any help much appreciated Caroline

I had the same a while ago with my 2005 roadster. Turned out lots of the electrics had been put through the first fuse, I think its called the ignition fuse, If I remember it was a 20A one, the first in the box. I temporarily put a 30A in but didnt risk turning the heater on again until I got it sorted. My Morgan garage (Life's at Stockport) arranged for the high draining items to be wired separately on their own / different fuses.
For info mine blew (ground to a halt) when I had, heated front windscreen, heated seat, lights, heater and obvs engine all turned on, I cant remember which was the last I turned on that blew it Im afraid.

There are 3 regional MSCC centres near you. This link to the MSCC site will give you the details. I'm sure they would have people able to advise you & look at the car.

Caroline, I have private messaged a TM member in Derby so maybe he will respond on here .

I live in South Devon but if I was closer I would try and help out, good luck, was your late husband member of a local group at all ?

I’m not too sure exactly what is affected but the inertia switch, usually it is the fuel system. But, is well worth a try as Brendan has indicated. Otherwise I doubt it is anything catastrophic, simply a major connection has become “undone”.

There are a couple of members who are far more capable than me in knowledge and the ability to easily explain and who will offer advice real soon.

Best of luck.

Hi Caroline.

I am not an expert on these matters but it occurs to me that it might be the cut off switch which has 'fired',
This is to be found on the passenger side bulkhead under the bonnet.
There is usually a red button on top which you push down to reset the electrics.
Hope this helps & best of luck - Brendan.
