General electrical fault

[cinq117]

my rear o/s light wasn't working did the usual and checked the bulbs which was fine. checked the fuse and the fuse had blown. kept on replacing the fuse and as soon as i turn the light switch on the fuse kept on blowning. i then noticed where the o/s main beam fuse is and the 10 amp fuse cover had slightly melted and the fuse was hot to touch. i then changed the fuse, cleaned the connection and now the o/s sidelight fuse is not blowning any more??? but my rear o/s sidelight is still not working ??? any ideas???

Check the bulb again, clean the contacts, clean the connector. If that doesn't do it, look for a wiring fault. A tester of some sort would make things easier.

You have got the correct bulb in there?

Is this the tail/stop bulb?

If so, have you got it in the right way up?
