    Default fuse keeps blowing

    hi guys, the fuse that controls the buzzer, left side dip beam, left side rear light and dashboard lights keeps blowing. i have tried to find any wires that are exposed but i cant seem to find any. its really peeing me off. i'm going to get pulled for the rear light being out as i travel on the motorway to work. can anyone help!! i have taken the dashboard out, all light connectors etc. cheers.

    theres a load of things that share the same fuse, what year is your car as the fuse for the buzzer and dash is a different one to that of the tail/dip beam fuse?

    an example of things on the same fuse as the buzzer are...

    rear heated window (relay coil only)
    reverse light bulb
    glovebox light
    fag lighter
    headlight warning buzzer
    dash/speedo (all items)
    heater control illumination
    heated seats
    carb heater
    auto choke controller
    idle cut-off solenoid
    headlight switch illumination

    (Diesel only below)
    glow plug system including the white box controller
    diesel filter heating
    charging indicator relay

    if that helps any

    its a 1988 1.3 sr. the fuse that keeps blowing controls the left side dip beam, left side rear light, reg light and whole dash lights. i have found a blown dash bulb. could that be the cause.

    unless its shorting to ground, but i doubt the bulb would cause it, but you never know at the end of the day its a vauxhall and anything really can happen
