Hi Guys i went out to my car this morning and started it up to see a fuse warning message flashing up on my cluster. I also noticed that when i stoped and switched off the engine and exited the car my dome light did not come on and also the door ajar message on my cluster did not come on. I have also noticed that my alarm and immobiliser light is not comming on. I have checked all the fuses and they are all fine. Any ideas guys. I just hope that it isnt my immobliser on its way out.

Simple answer.

The IOD (Ignition Off Draw) fuse in the power distribution center under the hood by the battery is blown or removed.

It's a 10amp fuse with a yellow holder around it.

Hi guys still having problems with the iod fuse. I have replaced the fuse several times and it just blows as soon as i connect the battery back up. The only problem is i need to fix it as my trip display is not working and i need it to fill out my millage forms for my job or i wont get ne money for my mileage. I have tryed everything i can think of to fix the problem if any one else has ne ideas please let me know. The stealer wants to charge me £50.00 thats about $100 just to have a look at it for me before they even fix the problem. Please help me thanks guys.

Mine did this 10 minutes ago. It wouldn't click over, and I had a very dimm cluster that would freak out when I tried to check codes. I got the FUSE thing as well.

I gave the car a boost and it's running strong.

if the fuse keeps blowing, then theres obviously a short somewhere along the line. have you modified the car? check bulbs, ground and loose wire.

^^^
Agreed, there's either a short somewhere or you added something to the vehicle and tapped the wrong 12volt source overloading the IOD fuse...

look near the fuse box and through out under the dash. feel if anything is loose. then start in the engine bay.
