wiring short

[ada-v]

i know it aint mechanical, but there isnt an electric area.

anwyays, the missus nova (1.4 flair if that makes a difference) has a short on the interior light/stereo circuit which is blowing fuses.

just suddenly happened the other day.

now, the stereo wiring hasnt been massed with since it was fitted, and it isnt all bodged in, it is plug n play ISO plugs,

so where do i start to sort this problem??

i really need it sorted cuz the missus is pissin n moaning about not having music.

cheers guys

mine was doing that the other day mate, fuse number 18 i believe. i sorted an earth out that i bodged on in the bay and it hasnt done it again.

(the earth i sorted was just a problem i had and needed it etc)

not sure where you could start really, but thought id tell what i was doing etc

First step is to remove the interior light bulb, take the clock out and disconnect it, and take the stereo out and unplug it.

Put a new fuse in, which at this point shoudn't blow. Now plug everything back in one at a time, each time flicking the ignition on between reconnecting stuff. This will either tell you which thing is causing the problem, or in the case of when I did it, everything will work and the problem will go away!!

Let us know!
