Clio (2006) - Fuse just keeps blowing

[davenpearsall]

Hi guys

Trawled through previous threads but can't find any relating to my problem.

A month or so ago a fuse blew that powers the nearside rear sidelight, dashboard lights (i.e. speedo) and a few other internal smaller things like the heater control lights.

I changed the fuse no problem, then on Friday it blew again. It has since blown everyday since then!

I've tried to find a trend in when it blows. Is is something I was doing to cause it to blow, however it just seems completely random. This morning it was when I first turned my lights on. Whereas tonight it was a minute or so after I had my lights on.

I thought maybe it was a dodgy bulb so I've changed the rear brake bulb.

Anyone got any ideas what might be causing it and how I can go about fixing it.

Thanks very much!

Have you changed the head unit recently or had it out at all?

Did you change anything to the car shortly before the first one blew?

 

[davenpearsall]

No I've not had the head unit out for any reason. I've not changed anything to the car for a long long time. This is why I'm so confused as to what's causing it.

I've had the headunit out and disconnected everything and put it in the house whilst went for a drive. 20 yards down the road and it blew again. Thats the headunit eliminated anyways!

possibly a problem with the wiring/a connector somewhere, grounding and blowing the fuse. could be a 'mare to trace if it's that
