Hi all,

Just a quck one, over the past few days one of my fuses keeps blowing, the bottom one for clocks/tail-lights. Most recently 3 blew within 10 minutes!

I've recently had a radio installed, although it went a good 3/4 weeks without anything going wrong, is it a fault with the radio? Or could it be another fault?

Thanks in advance!

Jordan

Try disconnecting the radio first and see what happens.

 

If the problem persists then start looking for damaged wiring as a chafed / rubbd wire can cause a short.I've also heard a few tales recently that the printed circuits on the speedo can cause isues as the illumination is part of the same circuit.

 

Have a look aroud and employ a process of elimination.
