hi guys, im really stuck with this one, i recently aquired a 03 lwb sprinter which once i got home i realised that there were no dash lights, checked the fuse and it was blown so i changed it with the same rating. now when i turn on side lights the fuse melts! dosent blow just continiues to get so hot the plastic around the blade fuse drips away (if left long enough)
i have searched all the wiring for shorts, removed all bulbs (eg) number plate, marker lights and unplugged the clocks yet still it melts even the lowest rating fuse i put in. i have even had the fuse box open and closed the fuse contacts up after reading that fuses can generate heat if not making contact properly.
anyone got any ideas what to do next?
thanks
martin
