Last time I used 'Jasmine' (just before Xmas) the windscreen wipers packed
up for no apparent reason.
Had a good look yesterday - fuse was blown. Checked for faults, couldn't
find anything wrong, replaced fuse, worked fine.
I just assumed the fuse had 'aged' (the old glass encased wire types can and
do).
I decide to turn the 90 around in my drive to work on the front. The fuse
box cover was still off. As I put her into reverse I saw the fuse blow
again.
Turns out there was a short underneath on the wire from the gearbox reverse
light switch to the light itself! Shared circuitry/fuse - nice
Stew.
