Fuse keeps blowing

[Sharky33]

Hi,

My sidelight / dash / rear light 10 amp fuse blew, no problem, I changed it, after about 3 mins of driving, it blew again, changed it again just incase it was a dodgy fuse, but, you guessed it, it blew again.

Before I call the auto-electrician, is there any precident for this happening, ie, a certain wire, or something, that can cause this one fuse to cause me so much trouble.

Thanks a lot,

David

someone mentioned wet getting into tow bar electrics causes a short thats a sod to find....you got a tow bar?

No, no tow bar, the only thing I've done to it recently is remove the pipe for the EGR, i've checked that it's still firmly tied, but I wouldn't have thought that would have affected it anyway.

Any other ideas?

retro fitted fog light under the rear quarter? had the same thing, check its not full of crap & the terminals are clean.
