The bane of my existence... my Hazards are up the spout again (they havn't worked since Cardiff bay run) also the interior light doesn't work since either(at all). I think these are both on the same circuit? Are there any fuses I should be looking at? would a burnt out hazard relay stop power going to the interior light? any other idea's?   |

Just took out the fuse, shorted it with a bit of wire, and it only works if I hold it a certain way.
got new fuses, put a new 15amp in (thanks for posting the guide previously taffy).
Still doesn't work!
Think the fuse holder is up the spout. Ill have to get a new one Wednesday or something... *shakes fist*

Don't think i've got a spare one of that particular type of Fuse Box. If i have it's probably on my old clubby which means it's bound to be knacked.  |

It's the in-line fuse that needs replacing and you can usually pick them up at most motor factors. Or just crimp on a pair of spade terminals and use a blade fuse instead. Only trouble is I've heard that the blade fuse and glass fuse ratings are different? So a 15amp blade fuse will be of a different rating to a 15amp glass fuse. I'm sure I've seen a guide somewhere, perhaps via a google search? |

Yep I spotted that a while back on TMF when you linked me to it when I said about swapping to a blade box. ;D
Think ill keep them proper in-line ones, their more 'streamlined' the last thing I want is to have a big high sitting bit of plastic (the fuse) get caught on my sound deadening pad and pop out without my realising...

All sorted! soldered in, heat-shrunk, and some insulation tape just in case.
on closer inspection of the original fuse holder that was broken it seems its broken because waxoil got into it and stopped the connector from sliding up the tube to hold the fuse tight...
Never mind! all fixed! ;D
