hi everyone my rear right indicator keeps blowing the fuse any ideas?cheers dave

Short to earth then. You'll need to find it. Check connections in light cluster and anywhere else that line terminates. Could just be a trapped wire after something moved/changed or even at fusebox itself.

How do you know it's the rear right? The fuse is for the whole indicator system.

Indicator bulb gone on the right?

cheers for that covkid i fiited a new aftermarket horn 2 weeks ago and it was that,cheers dave

thanks everyone,cheers dave

Needs a relay for any aftermarket horn Dave. The stock (meep-meep) beetle-type one doesn't draw much but pretty much all other types do. You can get it to work on stock horn loom but usually something gives way (sooner or later) as the circuit really isn't up to it - worse if something else in fusebox is sharing fuse. You either get blown fuse, hot wires, burnt contacts or complete failure. Wise to mount horn behind front grill too as its really hostile for horns underneath.

This should help. You can just use the horn circuit to power the relay instead.
