Hi Guys
Thanks once again for the help on this, and aas usual your diagnosis was
very helpfull.
Today with iyt being dry I decided to give it a go( fixing the fuse blowing
problem).
As suggested by Julian and others I checked the towing electrics after I
retreved them from where the spare wheel was located at one stage.
The amount of crap(Salisbury mud) that came down on my face was just, shall
we say really critty between my teeth
I put the electics hidden up there after a mishape on an off road course
before Salisbury trip.
Well I just gentle looked at the wires as there was a hugh gash in the outer
protection of the wiring with ecposed wires all over the place.
I then gently prized the wires apart, just to see if any of the inner cores
were exposed and toutching each other.
They were not toutching but when i pulled a little harder I had 8 individual
wires just hanging there not connected to anything at all.
They had all come loose from the socket, looked rusted aswell.
O great I said (not really) used much stronger language.
I now had 8 wires a hanging and absolutly no idea what to do other than cry
so I trimmed them all and insulated them.
Problem solved, replaced the fuse and put on the lights. Great all is fixed
I wish.
After going for a drive the fuse blew again.
I was thinking about the possible deal Lubo could get for the dynamite very
seriously.
Decided to have another look at the rear of the cruiser, it was either this
or kick it again and that hurts.
After a few minutes I had just about given up looking, poking, looking again
with no result.
All this time I had the a new fuse in and the driving door open with the
lights on, so the warning buzzer was also on.
No fuse blowing, not even once.
Then by shear chance I found the culprit.
Ah this is too long ill stop now.
cheers
