Dashboard light fuse keeps fusing

Sep 16, 2003 2 Replies

Hello,



The dashboard light on my faithful 240 keeps fusing for some reason. I changed it twice in three weeks already.



Could it be because the mechanic changed the rear brake light to a non-standard bulb (higher resistance) - the red Volvo warning for the lights is also on.



Cheers,



JM


If the fuse does not blow right away, it's not a dead short. Since it takes time to blow, it's just a bit excessive current. If the mechanics change was the start of the fuse blowing, I'd say it was related.

That or an intermittant short.
