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
