mrfish Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 I've started having issues with blowing fuses on the RH side lights. The vehicle is a 'rest of the world' 2000 300 tdi with t5 dash and wiring. Trying to track down the problem but still no luck on finding the culprit. So far i have tried the following: Completely disconnecting dash instrument panel disconnecting RH front wiring loom from bulkhead removing RH rear side light bulb Removing main compartment fuse box to check the wiring. Does anyone have any suggestions of what to do next? my main fear is a chaffing going through the chassis or behind my second fuel tank which is located rear right. Is there a way to disconnect the loom going to the rear right? If I cannot find the cause then i may just resort to snipping the cable as it comes out of the fuse box and fit a new junction with a replacement cable to the instrument pack, front and rear lamps.

western Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 check loom from bulkhead to front RH lights, it might be chaffing on the inner wing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrfish Posted May 21, 2012 Author Share Posted May 21, 2012 Already tried that. I disconnected the loom entirely and still the same problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 might be a duff light unit causing the fuse to go, have a look at the internal connections & make sure the correct bulbs are fitted in the correct light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
