    Default Radio Fuse Keeps Blowing!!!

    Can someone please help?? My radio Fuse keeps blowing,,it just happened one day out of the blue. Ive disconnected the radio and speakers but it still blew the fuse. I went out and bought myself a 12 volt test light,,went though all the fuses in the fuse box and the light dropped out on pulling out the MAIN F/L 60A FUSE.What does this mean and how can i fix it myself?

    When a fuse keeps blowing it means the power lead is shorting out to earth somewhere in that circuit. I'd suggest perhaps the active wire has rubbed through the insulation and you have a bare wire touching the bodywork. Unless your experienced in chasing electrical fauls, it looks like a job for an auto electrician
