International Lancia Forums

As I don,t have the owners manual yet I was wanting a look at the fuses to check them all.Where is the fuse box on the Thema?I had a delta before and it was located under the dash somewhere.

Also...central locking appears to be in a state of not working!LOL.

What do I need to do to check on it.Also the passengers side window won,t work not that that bothers me too much but I will get them sorted in due course.Could these be caused by fuses or is my ignorance of modern cars reallt that astounding?

This is the most high tech car I have ever owned and to be honest I,m scared of it!Al my other lancias have been fairly easy to work on and had no complex electrical stuff so I need a bit of help from some of you guys in the know.cheers.

Normally under the dash on the left (at least on a S1), accessed by undoing a plastic wheel and pulling the cover off.

Central locking may be due to some poor connections in the wiring, alternatively I have experienced a locked/knackered solenoid, replacing this did the trick.

Window probs may be due to various things. Does the window motor make a noise when you press the switch (i.e is any current getting to the motor)? If this is not used often the window can stick in the runners, you need to drop it and clean up the runners, some wd40 might losten up the velvety stuff. Assuming the fuse is ok anfd the motor is getting juice making use of the window (open & close regularly) will improve its movement, this also happens with the sunroof if not used much.

Good luck

thanks rudi.The central locking I will look at after as its not that important really but the window I will investigate more.The motor is not getting any juice at all ,its totally dead when the switch is pressed so I will have a look at fuses etc and see whats what.

Depends on what Thema you have.

Most of them on the very left side underneath the dashbord (where the left front speaker is located). More fuses in the engine compartment (92 and later) under a black plastic cover behind the battery, even more in the trunk on the right side, depending on which extras are on board (sun roof, power seats, electronical controlled suspension).

I´m sure I forgot a remote location.

My guess is the switch is faulty. I have 2 Thema turbos and both have had faulty switches. I usually disassemble them and clean the contacts, but that's because I'm cheap.
