The fuse protecting the circuit on the tail lights and dashboard lights keeps blowing. This has happened 5 times now. When I replace the fuse it either blows again straightaway or soon after I drive the car again. The car is a UK spec 2001 1.8 VTEC Sport.
Any clues as to the likely cause ?
You most likely have a short somewhere. The fuse is there to protect against such a thing.
Start by checking the bulb sockets and grounding of the sockets.
Just a thought...check for water in the tail light bulb sockets. I had this in an old Dodge Dakota. Packed them with grease and never had the problem again.
