No speedo - fuse keeps on blowing

Post by bfs »

The 10amp fuse supplying the instruments, rear and front sidelights keeps blowing for no obvious reason. The voltages were :

Off - 12.9v
Engine running 15.5v

So I changed the reg for a new one.

Now its

Off - 12.9v
Engine running 14.5v

The new reg has a built in heatsink.

Put a new fuse back in - instruments came back for a minute or two, then blows again with engine running.

Replaced it with another 10amp fuse, blows even with the engine off this time !

Any ideas anyone ? I have checked the bulbs for shorts. Haven't taken all the body work off to check all the wires yet ..,..

Thanks
