Re: Number 3 fuse keeps blowing

Thanks for that 1664, have checked all the lights now, still seems to be a problem, it definitely looks like a short will isolate in turn to id culprit. Will a short damage a multi meter? I am going through fuses like anybodies business.

Re: Number 3 fuse keeps blowing

Cheers 1664, I think you are right about the short. I have checked the interior lights. Not sure about the door pillar switches, do you mean the ones that sense when the door is open? With regards to the ciggy lighter I only did a visual exam so will try again.
Thanks one again to all

Number 3 fuse keeps blowing

Hi Noticed the clock was not working so changed the number 3 fuse, blue spark and another dead fuse. Checked the ciggy lighter thinking this might be the cause of a short as it just turns in the dash but it seems ok. Found that my rear speakers wiring had become disconnected so though that they migh...

Re: Please recommend me a Stainless exhaust for DG engine

Definitely worth speaking to Turbo Thomas, he made me a custom muffler for our old Bay window last year, really nice work. A very approachable guy, did the work on our van whilst we popped off to the cinema! :ok
