Parkers Circuit Keeps Blowing Fuses

[Trav33]

My parkers circuit keeps blowing fuses, from what i can work out, the following source power through that particular fuse:

- front parkers

- rear tail light parkers

- dash illumination

- radio illumination wire

- beeper under dash when door is open, or lights left on

- somehow the interior light is also effected, as now when it is set to door, it stays on all the time.

The fuse is under the bonnet, even blows 25amp fuses, so something is trying to suck a lot of current. I've tried to inspect front parker globes, no visual shorts. Removed dash cluster, still blowing fuses. Checked radio illumination wire, taped up well. Checked one brake light, visually ok. Hard to check the other light.

Any ideas? All help greatly appreciated!

Have you changed anything or had any work done lately eg. stereo, gauges etc?

Not really, it happened the same day i washed my car at a car wash, but i think that was coincidental.

I might trace the wiring from the tail lights back to the front of the car to make sure it hasnt been damaged.

The number plate light is also powered through the Parkers fuse, ive unplugged the lights in case they filled up with water when i was washing my car, but still blowing fuses.

Does anyone have a link to a full wiring diagram for 33's?

i had a similar problem with a customers car.

check the cig lighter light. just unplug it (the light) and check if it stops blowing the fuse.
