Puffernutter Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 Obviously an earth fault! Have you taken both brake bulbs out first and see what happens? Then work your way back through the loom. Cheers Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 check the stop/tail bulbs are the 2 filament 5w/21w type, some have found single filament bulbs fitted which shorts the circuit & fuse goes pop. ,bulb holders, earths. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cackshifter Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 Or maybe the towing connection, as they are definitely not waterproof, if you have one (or however the loom terminates if you haven't) I've had water in the 7 pin socket causing all sorts of problemss through a conductive grey fur that had grown over the backs of the terminals.
