Central locking fuse keeps blowing :(
« on: 16 July 2012, 16:33 »
Over the last month or two the car is starting to be used alot more often and it has blown 3 central locking fuses?

It has a clifford alarm (windows up, too close beep, think its a top of the range one) any reason why it would do this?

 :huh:

have changed the batteries in the fob so its not that. The clock and mileage on dash will go out then when you lock it the alarm will just keep going off   :angry: gets very :embarassed:  :embarassed:

Any help appreciated  :wink:

Thanks, Jon

p.s. Thought getting rid of the mk4 would be the end of my golf troubles   :tongue: :grin:

But then you bought a car with a poorly fitted aftermarket alarm system.  :grin:

Check interior lights (also in boot), cig lighter, ... those might be at fault as well.
Other than that, check if PCB on pump is corroded. Quite often the case; if it's that, take it off clean with toothbrush and 99% isopropyl alcohol.
