Fuse problem

Featured Replies

The fuse is constantly blowing in my vehicle, Fuse 36, due to pin 16 in the headlight switch, but I don't know what is pin 16, where is it going?

I guess you really mean fuse 35*, a 5 Amp one? It supplies power for illuminating all the bulbs/LEDs that light up the switches all around the dashboard etc.

 

*based on the belief from looking at OP's previous posts that he has a 2008 mk2

So fuse number 35 comes off pin 16 of the light switch on some early variants of mk2 Fabia. That does what I described before.

I can't see a diagram where fuse 36 has anything to do with pin 16 of the light switch or the numberplate lights.

 

What colour(s) is the wire coming off pin 16?

Burada hangi yıl arabadan bahsediyorsunuz, önceki yazılarda bahsettiğiniz arabanın 2008, mk2 olduğunu varsaymıştım? 

 

I'm sorry, i did not know, I wrote your year

What are the 7th and 8th characters in your car's VIN number? 6Y or 5J?  I'm trying to discover if your Fabia is a late registered mk1(6Y) or a Mk2 (5J).

I looked now it starts with 6y

OK, now I can look at the right wiring information.

So, it's a grey/blue wire from pin 16 of light switch to fuse 36, which then goes to the number plate lights and also to the light switch illumination regulator. Grey wires coming off fuse. Become grey/blue again at a (pink) connector near the C-pillar at the rear of the car on the way to the number plate bulb fittings.

 

Check both numberplate bulbs and the fittings they go in, as a short-circuit of a wire there  to metal in the tailgate is likely to cause this problem.

How can I measure with  multimeter a short circuit from parking light socket

Numberplate light. Just unscrew the bulb holders and look at the wires. Most problems like this are obvious to the eye.  

 

If the screws are too rusty, remove the bulb, then test resistance to chassis metal from each contact of the bulb holder. One should have very low resistance, the other one no connection.

Plaka ışığı. Sadece ampul tutucularını sökün ve tellere bakın. Bunun gibi çoğu sorun göze çarpmaktadır.  

 

Vidalar çok paslıysa, ampulü çıkarın, ardından ampul tutucunun her bir temas noktasından şasi metaline karşı direnci test edin. Birinin direnci çok düşük olmalı, diğerinin bağlantısı yok.

In what position should the multimeter be? Could you please explain in detail? :))

Resistance, Ohms, Lowest number range. If you post a photo of the meter I can put marks on the picture.

I measured in ohms, one end is on the body of the vehicle and the other is in the socket, but the multimeter did not give an audible warning :(

One end of each bulb holder should be connected to vehicle body, the other end should not.
