Just had my 2nd fuse blow in 3 weeks. Both times it was the 10A one for the interior lights, but it also supplies power to the OBD port and also the odometer. Not sure what else it does.

No idea why it has started to blow fuses. Nothing obvious.

Any ideas?

Check there's no water in the interior light, it can leak in at the arial mount.

Best hope would be to look at a wiring diagram. Might be linked to something else you didn't know about. Interior lights are powered by the control unit thingy arnt they?

I have changed all of them to LED's apart from the glove box.

Try using 1 normal light bulb. The BCU doesn't like driving LED's long term.

Okay.......


So, which one to I change back.....

Not the drivers one, or the boot light.



Maybe the rear passenger seat one.
