Default Accessory port power supply, which fuse?

Hi guys, I just came to wire up my garmin replacement sat nav and wanted to use the accessory port feed next to the glove box. The red and white lead is supposed to be a switched live but is dead. Anyone know which fuse it is and where?. Thanks in advance, Alan

Graham, that is the unswitched power fuse. For switched power Alan needs to add a 10A fuse to position #11 in the boot fusebox (it might be there already) PLUS the missing relay#6 in the boot fusebox (probably not there).

Everytime this comes up I get paranoid since I used a non-protected relay from Advance Auto. Steve was kind enough to show me the error of my ways at that time.
So be sure to use a genuine Jaguar relay or one that has a diode for transient response protection to guard the Jag's costly electronics.

Jaguar has actually been using resistors across the coils since the mid-90's for the same purpose. Another member pointed this out to me some time ago.
