Title: Blowing a fuse......
Post by: hobbes on 25 May 2009, 09:57

Morning all.  My number 21 (?) fuse for the rev counter, mfa etc keeps blowing.  Any ideas where i should look first, what i need to do to find the problem etc etc...? 

Many thanks.

this runs:
boot light
interior light
dash clocks

so check these places for shorted wires :)

Thanks John.  In the last 3 days or so i've blown about 5 fuses - basically everytime the car has been started.  I was replacing the drivers door card yesterday and noticed one of the speaker wires had been chaffing on the door.  I fixed and the last couple of times i started the car (shunting it in and out of the garage) the fuse has not blown......  coincidence do you think?

Sorry, i'm a bit of a spas when it comes to electrics...
