Re: rear fog lamp

Hi Wayne, yes bought a new switch ,so it's shorting along wire somewhere or in the bulb holder ,can you take the bayonet out of the light cluster without damaging it? Could be some rust underneath due to water ingress?

Re: rear fog lamp

Still no joy with this ! 10 fuses later ,may have to re do wiring from another source, it must be shorting somewhere as it works for 10 seconds then fuse burns out ,maybe use higher rated fuse ? :confusion-confused:
