Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Spot on with that, the [problem] turned out to be the courtesy light under front bonnet, the back of the little bulb inside was shorting out directly onto the underside of bonnet, maybee the holder has gotten bent out of shape over time or something, anyway disconnected untill a newer part is found

Last week the clock stopped working, and when I checked the fuse it had blown, looking at the manual it also supplys all interior lights incl; boot light and glovebox lamp,so i disconnected all the light fittings, and clock and replaced the fuse, which blew at once.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

5 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1Original post

The wiring in my '81 SC is not wonderful. Have you actually changed the fuse? They can look ok but.... What is the actual problem? Danny

POST 3Original post

You need a digital meter and check for a short. The closer you get to the short the closer the reading will be to zero ohms.
