Operation
1 The multi-function unit (MFU) is mounted
onto the rear of the fusebox, which is located
behind the right-hand lower facia panel. The
unit controls the following functions:
a) Front and rear wiper system delay
intervals.
b) Heated rear window timer.
c) Courtesy lamp delay.
d) Lamps-on warning bleeper.
2 The MFU also has a self diagnostic mode
where it checks out all the relevant circuits it
controls.
3 To start the diagnostic sequence, press the
heated rear window switch and turn on the
ignition switch on simultaneously. Release the
heated rear window switch as soon as the
ignition switch is turned on, the MFU should
then bleep to indicate it has entered its
diagnostic mode, then press the heated rear
window switch for a second time. Subsequent

13.3 Removing clock retaining screws
(remaining one arrowed)
operations of the interior lamp switches, wiper
switches and headlamp switch will result in a
bleep from the MFU as it receives a signal. If
the unit does not bleep, a fault is indicated in
the relevant circuit. A third press on the
heated rear window switch will enter the MFU
into the second stage of its diagnostic
sequence. The MFU will now operate each of
its functions in turn starting with the heated
rear window, followed by the front and rear
wipers and finally the courtesy lamp will
operate for approximately two seconds if
there are no faults. When all checks are
complete, turn the ignition switch off to take
the MFU out of its diagnostic sequence.
4 If a fault appears in one of the circuits
controlled by the MFU, then check the
relevant relay (where fitted) and wiring. If this
fails to locate the fault, it is likely that the MFU
is at fault. The MFU is a sealed unit and must
be renewed even if only one of its control
functions is faulty.
Removal
5 Disconnect the battery negative terminal.
6 Undo the five retaining screws and remove
the right-hand lower facia panel (see
illustration).
7 Release the left-hand fuse panel from the
side of the main fusebox and disconnect the
two wiring block connectors from the front of
the fusebox (see illustrations).
8 Remove the two fusebox retaining nuts
then partially withdraw the fusebox until the
14.7b . . . and disconnect wiring
connectors from front of fusebox
