Blown Fuse

Postby BIOMAN » Thu Jun 29, 2017 8:16 pm

help :-(. I was checking my lights this evening. Everything worked apart from the rear fog light. Checked the fuse, it was blown. put a new fuse in rear fog light worked. started engine fuse blown again. I put a 25amp fuse where before was a 30amp. In the wiring manual it says that the fuse powers the dip beam,no plate light and off side tail light. when the fuse blows they still all work. any ideas?
Thnx

Throw away the wiring manual :lol:

Seriously though start by pulling the other fuses to check that they switch the circuits that you would expect... it may be that the wiring manual is wrong.

Obviously on a separate circuit. Check the switch as that is normally at fault.

Ask me how I know?!
