Burnt Wires

[e21jason]

Hi after swapping the clocks on the G60 I had a bit of disaster, the headlight switch shorted and burnt out the live feed. I was able to pull the switch in time but the damage is 1 switch the harness from the switch to the fuse box and the fuse box as the pin is burnt out so I have a few questions

Are all golf mk11 fuse boxes the same as there are a few on ebay

Does any body have the part number fro the switch and harness

Does any body have a fuse box, harness or switch for sale.

Thanks

I've got a fusebox out of a 16v mk2, whats the part no. on yours? I'll see if they're the same

Hi The only number I can find is 1 856 1312711 on a white sticker on the side of the fuse box.

  The part no. on this one is 171 941 813D, its stamped on the back and there's no sticker on it.

Is your fusebox still in the car as i dont htink you'd be able to see the part no. with it still fitted.

I had the exact same thing happen to me.

One of the wires, I think the red one (it'll be the most scorched!) is unfused

I put an in-line fuse on mine when I replaced the wire, I think it's well worth doing to prevent a repeat.
