:cry:

what does that mean

[brainsnova]

you are ment to disconnect the earth lead off the battery to protect the wiring.

[jpga]

oh dear never thought of this as we did my mayes escort van and it want a problem ? how do i go about this now then to fixing it wise ?

[brainsnova]

unplug the stereo and try the fuse. if its ok the fault is in the stereo.

[jpga]

what take the stereo out and put a new fuse in the fuse box? if it doesent blow it its the stereo ??

[brainsnova]

yep.

[jpga]

thanks mate will do the fuse is the one for the interior light hazard lights and stereo if that helps you mate feel like a dick now cant belive i have done this !!

[Balley]

are you sure you have not sorted the side repeaters as its the same fuse??

[jpga]

indicators work fine plugged them back in and screwed the earth in just the hazard cd player and interior light etc !

if its the drivers side you welded you may have melted the insulation on the wiring to the interior light, which runs up the drivers side and into the A pillar, might be shorting onto the shell causing the fuse to pop? especially if youre checking it with the door open.

use a split pin if you need it to be on until you sort it

use a split pin if you need it to be on until you sort it

And end up buring all your wiring.
