Hi,
Can anyone help with this and save me some time, I had an issue with the headlights on my 1987 Defender 90, this turned out to be a faulty dim dip switch which is now sorted. While trying to trace this fault I removed the fuse box from the car body and managed to short one of the fuses to the body work !!!!.
I replaced the blown fuse but I now find that the following is not working
Head light flash
Heater fan
Horn
interior light
Every thing else works fine.
Do these items connect to something in common that I could have damaged ?
The fuse that blew was the top left.

Thanks
 
Find a wiring diagram, they might all share a common live or something, they dont share the same earth, also have you look behind the fuse holders for damage? We are talking glass fuses?

Those are on a common fuse on my 92 200tdi. I don’t know if that’s the case with yours? I think mine should be a 20A fuse.
