blackhat250 Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Hi jd" you have an open circuit some where, disconect different parts of loom , and try again till it stops blowing fuses , this may isolate the area where fault is.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Cynic Posted February 15, 2014 Moderator Share Posted February 15, 2014 WOW that is hard work reading. Something connected to something its shouldn't. As above some sort of earth fault, by that I don't mean a bad earth. Something that should not be connected to earth is. Time and a multimeter mixed with a stock of tea/coffee/cigs as required for this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
