I was doing a all lights check today and noticed the plate number light was out (no worries) I pulled the little flat ended push in bulb and put in a new one, thinking that's fixed "wrong" still didn't work.
Next step check the fuses, I found the 15A fuse for the radio was fried (rear plate light on the radio circuit? Ok) as I'm replacing the fuse it arced and blew straight away ignition was off.
Then I unplugged the harness to the rear but it still blew the fuse. Ok there's a fault at the radio. Once the bat wing was removed I pulled one of the two plug connections.
Disconnected the left plug on the radio I put in a fuse and it DIDN'T blow BUT the plate light came ON ? Ignition off.
I'm somewhat stumped on this one. There's obviously direct power to the fuse that should only be from the ignition when turnd on.
Could the short possibility be in the ignition switch?
Would any of you more experienced and knowledgeable on the electrics have any suggestions. I've no wiring diagram on the area in question.
Cheers for any input
