Purchased my first Bentley Continental a few weeks ago and i'm having a problem with a couple of things and I believe I need to replace a fuse, however the owners manual doesn't have a fuse diagram for any of the fuses.

Does anyone have the fuse diagrams for a 2004 Bentley Continental GT?

Any help will be much appreciated.

 

Here's the fuse manual in PDF

 

Thanks so much, rang three different Bentley dealerships and none would provide me with anything, they said that fuse changing is technical and shouldn't be done by the customer

 

Reminds me of a joke:

How many German engineers does it take to change a light bulb?

One. They don't have a sense of humor

 

Hi folks.

The fuse locations are not in the owners manual. They are in the service booklet.
Might seem odd, but that's where they are.

Since when has changing a fuse become technical I wonder. Bizarre!

...boy, a 2004 Bentley...I hope you got the lucky one...you got more nerve than I have...
Again you may have gotten the lucky one...

 

I don't quite understand why you continually find the need to slag owners of the early model BCGT. If they are considering buying one, a warning of known problems will suffice. If the poster is an owner, they don't need reminding of the problems. As an owner of a 2005, I am somewhat annoyed that you drone on and on about the early cars. I have NOT experienced the MAJOR problems that have been identified. Not everyone can afford the later models and not all of us who own the earlier versions have experienced all of the issues you seem to delight in highlighting.

Also, when you root resurrect old posts looking for an update, please recognize that these members have probably moved on.

Also, please resist giving your opinion on technical matters that you have not had hands-on experience with. It is not helpful. Prior to your arrival, this forum was visited by people looking for or sharing direct knowledge about the cars, not anecdotal observations. Please do not think me rude or unfriendly, l'm only trying to regain the original exchanges that proved so helpful to so many. I can feel and applaud your enthusiasm.

 

....you may be totally correct...however...if my son was considering buying an early Bentley or for that matter almost any GTC...I would strongly advise against it for all the known defects. I do not think I am more emphatic than Steven, who has forgotten more on this subject than I will ever know. If one wants to buy an early CGT
as a project, that makes sense, as long as you know up front the existing or potential issues.
I'm sorry you think reviewing year old posts is a waste of time. I find them very interesting.
Now on the technical matters, please advise me what matters you take exception. I have no technical expertise regarding Bentley and less about computers but I do have 70 years experience working on my own cars so that counts for something.
....Do you particularly object to my recent post about the inept, dishonest Indie in Florida who was recommended here...that was from a year old post.
...anyhow I will take your criticism seriously since I believe both of us have good intentions...

Thank you for considering my comments. I shall respond to you via PM as I don't wish to bog down the forum with further public discussion.

 

Just further on this subject, the problems discussed are likely well overblown. I have 131k miles on my 05 GT, and it has not had any of these "common" problems. It did have the 3rd brake light and headliner replaced under warranty, but no issues with air suspension, or vacuum hoses, or really anything else. It may be that these cars just need to be driven, but either way I would not steer anyone away from an early car. Just my .02 from someone who lives in Bentley land.

 

....I sure do not want to belabor this subject...just now want to state my underlying concern...and then I'm done...

....All Bentley GT's are great looking cars...the early ones are now coming into accessible price range to many more people...many young people will be tempted to commit to $40,000-- $60,000 probably financed...
....Sometimes it's better to use discipline and patience, but that's no fun...
Too many of these premature purchases will turn out to be problematic, seriously impacting these purchasers and souring them on the Bentley experience that can be a joy...
....But life is a learning process and we each have to find our own way...

 

Steven, do you by chance have a PDF of a 2012 Continental GT as well?

 

How did you get that fuse box manual? Any Idea how to get a 2007 fuse box manual?
Thanks for any help you may have.

 

Does anyone have access to a fuse manual for a 2007 GT?

 

Here you go, sorry if some pages are crooked, or run on to the next page, its how it's laid out on pc with scrolling, plus PDF file size is limited to 5MB here, so I scanned to make three separate files, if you want in one PDF I can email you the 11MB file.
