nz320i 0 Report post Posted November 28, 2005 Hey dude just wondered if your interior lights are fine? I had mad probs working out why i kept blowing fuses, and it was two wires shorting out on the same circuit, tacho, interior lights, radio (all same circuit.) Turned out to be ; because there was no bulb in the glove box light holder (light that turns on when ya glove box opens) the wires fell out of the holder thingy and kept shorting , and i kept replacing fuses. It mad me angry and the day my mate slammed the glove box and my headunit stopped at the same time i finally worked it out! Sweet. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
