Hi chaps - tried everything still ongoing issue - had an auto electrician check it - he said he repaired the loom - and now the fuse does not blow

- but now after a week -- >>

when i brake the rear indicators also light up / when i indicate the brake lights also flash - also the warning lights on the dash also flash even the water in fuel light

very strange --- maybe an earth issue at the rear !!!!!!!

any ideas

thanks alfy

Hi I checked the fuse box F8 -- all intact, all earths seem ok,

Does not seem to be an earth issue - as it blows the fuse straight away ( a direct short )

Theres a white wire input into F8 from ing 12v+, on the other side of F8 theres a thiner white wire go away to ??????????

I have checked and its got a direct short to earth !!! ( fault )

Q - where does this thiner white wire go to >>>>> is it to a relay if so where is it located ??

Thanks

Thanks - i have dis all the wires from the rear door / stalks, all dash dials - still the fuse blows, not sure what fuse 8 covers - apart from the rear wiper -

the LR manual mentions haz lights -- but these work ok

fuse 8 details of what it feeds is limited in the manual !!!

Thx
