Fuse keeps blowing

Postby chrisdunham » Sat Apr 24, 2010 9:50 am

Hi All

I have a bit of an issue with fuse 3 on my HB, basically it keeps blowing. (it controls headlamp flash, horn and courtesy light)

It seems to go randomly, i have a sneaky suspicion its related to the courtesy light - i've insulated the connections to ensure its not earthing on the body but it still happens (good job i have a stock of fuses!!)

Any ideas??

Chris :thanx:

Could be the constant live feed to the courtesy light is frayed somewere (probably where its routed through the "A" pillar and up inside the screen channel) - Just one option :? but it could be something else - case of trial and error until the faulty wire / terminal is located .
