[BOOZTJUNKEY]

as title says keep blowing this fuze it has only happend after the car has been reregisterd on the road...

although while it was off the road alot happend to the car so if any one could help me out why i keep blowing this fuze it would be great guys..

i have done auto to manual conversion

rewired speedo for t5 sensor

new head unit was installed

could it be one of these things thats causing the issue ?????

Any one of those things done slightly wrong might blow a fuSe. Perhaps you could start with the headunit, unplug it and see if that saves your fuSe. Could be as simple as wrong globes, water in the parkers, dodgy earth.
Is it the correctly rated fuSe?
Someone might have a more specific idea.

When does it actually do it? when you start the car? drive? turn the lights on? fill us with info.....

i'd unplug the head unit, sounds like the earth for the headunit has been wired into the park light circuit. rewire the earth from the head unit directly to a body earth somewhere. just do not put in a larger fuse than what it says. I've seen some pretty awesome (expensive) damage to wiring looms because of this exact problem...

yeh mate corect fuze its a 15 amp ....and it does it when im driving at night not straight away just randomly thats y it was worrying me....also i checked my globes today one was blown and i replaced and the connection the globe plugs into is very loose and will only light the globe up when i squeeze it also while i was playing around with it the fuze blew again... so i will fix that prob and see wat happens then...

i used all the existing wires from my xplod headdeck to wire the new one up but the xplod one was preety dodgy(i did not wire it tho) and had been earthed on the cigarette lighter so i will pull that out re earth it on the body somwhere not only that my speedo sensor and is goin to the same earth but there is currently no fuze for that...

one other thing i can think of is commodore has had a stato front end put on it and i sussed the wireng out on that and nealy died its done correctly but the with the wrong sort of wire the original wires for the headlights etc is 3mm wire and they have used speaker wire(positive and earth for one wire ) so inothere words they are using two bits of 1.5mm wire to make one 3mm wire and have justed twirled it and taped it of no clips are used at all

dodgy as i have alot to investigat will let you no how i go
