Another lights problem

[HomerS1]

It was recently brought to our attention that the reversing light on the caravan (Abbey, 3 years old) wasn't working. Further investigation revealed that the 10 amp fuse on the car had blown. I tried another and that blew. I tried a 15 amp and that blew. I then tried a 20, which did not blow but only just illuminated the car's reversing lights (pathetic glimmer) and the caravan not at all. Any ideas?

Homer,

Just one comment - dont keep incrasing fuse amps. The designers have made a design fuse for a purpose, and if there is a partial short, and you keep upraating the fuses, it WILL cause a fire.

If that happens - maybe a replacement loom. Now thats lots of dosh !!!!!!!

Find the fault - cure it - and use oonly the correct amps fuse.

Good luck

Do the lights work with the caravan unplugged ??

If so, you know the fault is with the van, so you can check it with a multimeter.
