Hi guys,

The fuse for my dash lights and rear parkers keeps blowing everytime i try to turn it on.. Ive read through the forum and found a similiar issue but his was to do with the stereo being wired improperly..

Just wondering is there anything else that could cause this? Or anything else I could check in regards to this

Hi Mouse here just a note to state the obvious.
You have a short direct to earth.
To Stop costing a fortune in blown fuses rig a normal sealed beam headligh ( one you know works ) with two wires.
Remove blown fuse and place one wire on one side of the fuse holder ( the exposed area where the fuse goes ) and place the other wire to the other exposed conntactor ( ensure both wires are insulated).
Turn lights on and if headlamp rig lights up the short is already making contact. wrigle the wiring loom or harness in the car that go to your lights and dash. When headlamp rig goes out short found.
Hope this helps find your short.
Just a note this can be used as a test lamp for any electrical short for any application as the lamp will not bl;ow.
Cheers mouse

When this happened to me it was a short in the lamp light in the mirror.

thanks for the tip mouse and supplanter..

i'll try it out tomorrow and see how it goes!

Will keep updated!
