Title: Indicator fuse keeps blowing
Post by: Trevrx on December 12, 2006, 06:58:32 PM
Has anyone had a similar problem?  The 15 amp fuse for the indicators (also hazards & horn) keeps blowing within 10 minutes of replacing it. Any ideas where to start looking.. :)

It`ll be the horn, probarly full of water, unplug it :)

Mmm  then again, does it only happen when u press the horn, or use the indicators. ??
or does it just blow regadless,  

p.s DONT PUT BIGGER FUSES IN,

Thanks for replies guys,  it seems to happen randomly, including several times when I indicated left, once by pressing the hazards, once by turning side lights on when indicating. Pressing horn hasn\'t blown it yet.

I\'ve tried to make it blow when stationary but haven\'t been able to yet. Have changed all indicator bulbs and cleaned connectors.

Could it be the stalk?

Change all the fuses by the driver side feet with correct and new ones and the problem will go.  I had a same problem and changing them did the trick;)

Yep, its only when you go through that box that you realise the links to each fuse! they must have been a right git to put together!
