Very strange .....

Post by syncropaddy »

I decided to use the Syncro today - for the first time in about 8 weeks - and once the tyres were pumped up I started her. First time, on the button. Then I noticed NOTHING worked ..... wipers, horn, indicators, lights ...... NOTHING. I uttered a small four letter word and began to investigate. I found very quickly that almost all the fuses had blown since I last used it. Now, how the 'small four letter word' does that happen ???

I replaced every fuse with a brand new one and all is well but how did this strange happening occur in the first place?

As daft as it may seem, lightening could be the cause, however, realistically, check that your window seal is not leaking and dripping onto your fuse box?

You don't have a friend who has access to (knows how to gain access) your van, and likes to play pranks?

It has to be down to an external influence (water, vibration, EMC/EMP, etc.).
The probability of almost all fuses failing together is bloody small.

Not so strange Andrew. The same thing happened to me last week so I swapped all my blown fuses with fuses from a guy who lives up the road from me who wasn't using his bus :wink:
