B area and aprox 20cm more. At firts i could not see the wires melted, untill i cut off that black isolation, and was at about 10 cm before light bulb socket.

I've finaly fixed that short-circuit problem. Was on the wires that go to number plate light.

Not at all, just that i dont have time to do it today, i will try to get some tmorow after work. I will keep you informed.

It has a cigarette lighter, but backlight never worked since i have the car. Socket works.

Ashtray lightning does not work. Also F22 powers up lightbulbs behind air blower switch, dashbord,and should be also for radio/mp3 player light ( i think this works only for original player). I will check that cable from one conector to other, hopefully i will find the short-circuit somewere. I will keep you informed.

I've measured the wires that leave the socket, with conector unpluged, at BE-3 wire i have under 5 ohm resistance. Rest of what i measured gives infinite resistance. (Or at least over the scale of my tester). The 30 Amp fuse...i dont have any clue who put it there and why. It was like that since i brought the car. Btw, that lightning feed, that is for interior lightning or just for dasbord backlight? Becouse without F22 interior lamp (the one ghat lights when you open dor) works.

At C 1/2 there is no wire going out. I've checked for corosion but it was just in the socket first layer, no deeper. At pin BE-3 i have under 5 ohm, that why i think is in short-circuit. I could try to disconect BE-3 from socket and see if fuse blows again

I added some images during fuse box dismoumt. Also if somebody is curious on how it looks on the inside there is the last picture.

I've checked fusebox, cleaned, no water/moisture signs inside. Checked wiring at all sockets related to F22 and i have short circuit at BE 3. According to schematic diagram that is interior lighting feed. On my think, if i disconect that wire, i should loose all interior light at dashbord, switches. But i dont know how a 3 watt light bulb can melt down a 30 Amp fuse...

Radio player doesent get hot, at least warm in worst case, it is a small usb player, 22w maximum, i replaced the stock radiator with a bigger one from a cd player. You are right with F22, i was not carefull when i typed. I will check tomorow for the short circiut and will make some photos too. I will probably have to dismount fuse box becouse a pin from fuse remain inside the socket. Do you have any clue how to dismount that fuse block?

Ok! Back with an update. I found front side light bulbs broken. Replaced them, check for wire integrity, no issues found. Tryed again with a new switch, same thing, smoke and switch melt out. checked again fusebox, and i found F22 melt out. I dont know for what reason, it was a 30Amp fuse... after i pulled away what was left from the fuse, i tryed again with 3rd switch ) Surprise, i can turn on low beam and high beam, also position lights work on left side, but no right side, and cigarette lighter. Ive tried to find out were that short circuit may be but no luck. I will try again tomorow after work.

No previous modification was made. Aftermarket only a radio was mounted,it works ok ever since i put it. Rear wind screen defrosing doesent work, but that is becouse copper layer is broken in some places. ( i dont think is related to my issue) Also i noticed that when i replaced the switch with the one for fog lights, low beam was working but tend to go on high beam, when signal light was on, it went back to low beam, but as soon as the signal light was off, it went back to high beam. If i touch the flash switch ( indicator switch) it went back to short beam. May be that switch broken and from there to be the issue?

Switch was not kept in half position, i just plug it in the socket, push it and it started to smoke and melt. There is not water in fusebox, or any sign of moisture.

Hello! I have a problem with side lights on my Fely. As i was driving it suddenly stop all lights. I replaced the switch, but as soon as i put the new one it started to melt. Old one was melt too. I have no dashboard lights too. With another switch ( fog lights) , low beam works, high beam works, but side lights and dashboard lights don't. I've check the fusebox, no fuse were burned. Does anybody has a clue what may be wrong here? Thx. Catalin.

Idle speed when engine is at 90°C is around 990 rpm, when is cold, it stays at around 910 - 920 rpm. Checked the glowplugs with an voltmeter, and thex work exacly untill the indicator on the dashboard goes off, around 5-6 seconds. Measured them with an Ohmetter, and seem to be ok, have about same resistence. I wont be able to do a VAG-COM too soon becouse of my work program... but i'l try someday next week. Thank you for your answers.
