Fuse Blowing

[relentless]

hi all

7.5 amp fuse that controlls centrallockin/alarm/radio keeps randomly blowing which means i have to unlock using key which then sets off alarm. when i replace fuse it can last a few days or only a few hours and no one thing seems to blow it ie it does not blow when i open a particular door.

Hi,

Sounds like you have got a connector, joint or door soleniod partially shorting out.

Looks like you need to spend some time with a good multimeter, the wiring diagram and try and isolate which door (probably) is causing it.

Don't be tempted to slam a bigger fuse in otherwise you may burn out things and even catch fire if you were unlucky.
