It is controlled by the DME but there is definitely a fuse -- though if it stops working and then starts working again, that would indicate something else is the problem.


It was fuse F61 on early cars, and F107 on later cars, but at least a couple of us here with pre-facelift cars have found that F107 was used, despite the factory service manual saying otherwise. If it has stopped working and won't come back then it would be wise to check both those fuses at least.
