Fuse keeps blowing

Hi

My fuse keeps blowing everytime i put anything in my cig lighter... I have just put a new headunit in but it blows even when it is off.

Obviously the head works on a different fuse circuit to the heaters and 12v... any ideas?

Re: Fuse keeps blowing

i would look to the rear where you have ben working on the HU
most likely you disloged a wire and its shorting out. did you have to change any wiring?
nothing extra like neons wired in?

Did not change anything... just run RF and remote leads from HU to rear...

Its possible you've picked up a cable on the cage when you've put the new unit.

Cheers

Could do, as long as you find the short.

Re: Fuse keeps blowing

Would the short usually occur when bare metal is touching some sort of wiring?
