Hi I have a Jap Imported Toyota Hitop Campervan/Camping Car. Its a 4 berth convertion with two double rear seats .I have a problem that I can not get sorted with the electrics nor it seems can Toyota UK. It is the Cigarette Lighter/Sart Nav Socket - Clock - Interior light circuit. It seems the fuse has blown and I just cant trace where the fuse box is located. I have searched everywhere. There is a fuse panel to the lower right of the steering column but these look like serious main engine fuses. There is also a fuse panel in the rear that serves the water Pump and interior rear lighting/campervan sort of lecky bits. I am desperate for help with this. Can someone steer me in the right direction. I have tried all the suggested places that have been posted on the internet as it seems that this is a problem for Hi Ace owners

Should be one there just up from the drivers left foot, and maybe another behind the panel by the passenger right foot for other systems fitted by Toyota.

Hi all thanks. Is this the fuse panel you talk about:
This is the cover for the panel withdiagram
I have seen this panel before but these fuses look like none I have ever seen before are they common in Japaneses Imports or Toyotas in general

Thats the relays... From there look to the right at the back of the footwell.....or follow the steering column down and look to the left...the box is a bit smaller than the relay box and set further back..

Not heavy duty wiring to the cig lighters if the outlet has had heavy use may have burnt out the wire. Happens a lot on Estimas.
Anyway well done on sorting all the other problems.

Thanks every one for all your help. I have been driving and fixing cars for 40 years. I thought I was going daft when I could not find the fuse panel.

this thread ended weeks of agony after I couldn't find the fuse box - I also refused to believe I couldn't so persevered way way past the point of common sense before checking the forum . . . I am like a fool riding a fool sometimes . . .
