Steve it could be a dodgy bulb, which direction do you have to idicate to blow the fuse, that can only be one of three bulbs, they can actually go short circuit when they blow and then blowing their fuse. I would,nt rule out a problem relay but do try the bulbs first.

Hi John
It blows the fuse straight away which ever way i indicate, im unshore of where the relay is for this as its not in the main fuse & relay unit!!! Or what would be the chances of it being the stalk itself.

Steve

P.S. My arms are getting tired from all the hand signals!!lol

Hi there

As far as I can rember the relay is on the actual stork.
You cant miss it after you take off the covers.
It could be the stork if you have checked all the bulbs for a dead short. Does it still blow fuses when the bulbs are removed??

Do as alan says... remove all the bulbs first, if it still blows, try getting a relay, sits ontop of the stalk, after that it must be the stalk itself.
