Hi guys, currently my adjustable switch is causing me some problems. As soon as I rotate it to on it blows the left hand rear fuse. I.e the one that does the lh side rear light, boot number plate lights and the light on the dash that tells you ,you have the side lights on.
I took it apart and it was burning up when put on full. Although the dash back lights never came on.
I then pulled the cables and joined them together to bypass the switch and all seemed fine. Then five minutes later the fuse blew and blows every time there linked together.
There is a blue and brown wire going to one connection and a blue on leaving I assume. Or it's the other way round to control the brightness function.
Anyone else came across this problem before?
Thanks in advance
Plus is this a common switch fault which is easily fixed by a new switch?
