Morning folks, interesting one this time...
Every time I engage reverse (this in on an Auto, by the way), the 10A reversing light fuse (no.16) pops. However, if you then leave the car in reverse, and put a new fuse in, all lights up as normal. Then take it out of R, lights go off – re-engage, and the fuse pops again. Grrr – running out of spares!!
So far, I’m thinking:
1. Higher rated fuse (can be risky but might try a 15A for trial purposes only
2. Replace the normal incandescent bulbs with LED ones to reduce the current draw.
Does anyone have any other ideas/ suggestions/ potential causes?
