my fuse on my roomster skoda for the lights (interior and back lights ) keeps blowing. i put new one in yesterday and today it blew? has anyone had this problem any ideas to what it might be?

Faulty bulb?

thanks for reply but its the interior lights and back light and front lights of the car not just one light. the fuse blew twice now in a week.

 

Quick thoughts.

 

What is happening when the fuse blows, is it raining, are you opening a door, turning lights on, is the correct fuse amperage in the correct fuse location, have you checked the boot, glovebox, wiring conduits at doors.

 

In the Owner's Manual (assuming it's correct, not always the case) Fuse Location 23 shows as "Interior lighting, storage compartment and luggage compartment, side lights" so you need to check all these, the connectors and connections and wiring, making sure nothing has caused an exposed wire or bridging connections.  Use your eyes and a magnifying glass (and nose for smell if soon after blow).  Look at the bulbs and bulb holders and boards for any evidence of anything untoward.  Wrong bulbs fitted badly.  All electrics want to be clean, secure and protected.

 

ETA: when did this start?

 

Have you had or done any work on the car?

 

Do you have any electrics added to the car after it left the factory, towbar, different "stereo", lights, etc., etc..
