I have a problem with fuse 25 in my T350, this looks after the speedo, elec mirrors and LEDs around the light and fan switches.
I'm a total numpty when it comes to electronics so any ideas what could be doing this? I'm assuming since the light/fan LEDs and mirror switch are low load and also not in use when it blows that it's possibly going to be the speed sender - but why? Bad earth?
Also, when it last blew I removed the old fuse and put a new one in which left all the dash ablaze, removed it and the speedo worked in a very spazzy fashion. Stopped the car a mile after, re-input and now all is fine again - until the next time it blows I guess.

Sounds like you need to take it to someone who knows what they're doing.. HTH.

Shes going in for a service on 25th June, unfortunately I can't get her in before that date. May have to try a local auto electrician but I'd ideally like some hints as to what could be causing this, especially as most auto elecs won't have experience working on TVRs electrics.

I'd guess it may be an earthing problem from the second part of the problem you describe. Check all the earths are nice and tightly nipped up.
