No lights

[StardustV8]

I took the 400 out to stretch its legs this sarvo.

Up Llandeilo, llandovery and across brecon, down towards Cardiff and then sprinting back to Swansea. Make the most of it now as ill be moving back to the midlands in early dec.

I had the roof off and the hat on. It rained a wee bit but i was not perturbed until a blizzard hit me so pulled over. Usual indicators for the roof to go up, full wipers, hardly moving, cant see, check check check=roof on!

Anyhow no problems and my interior was only slightly wet but at some point whilst climbing the mountain i noticed id lost lights. I had not long just put the radio on (so this may be connected). Im thinking fuse or an earth??

I havent had a look yet and just put the car to bed as ive other doemstic chores including dog walking to attend to.

However as i pulled up to the last set of traffic lights before home with the wipers switched off, they slowly moved across my screen with a full swoop.

So i guess a short has energised them somewhere.

This could all be damp/ water ingress related but has anyone had this and can point me to a quick fix tomorrow?

Check for water in fusebox fairly common problem that fuses get high resistance and go dull stopping conduction going through them, they will not look blown but when you pull each one out you know what i mean

Was indeed the fuse, number 10 a wee 15A little bugger.

Blew twice, then melted a 20A too.

After a bit of investigation I found it to be the +ve wire to the cigarrette lighter assy, the one for the illumination, was shorting out on the ground side! So a simple fuse turned into stripping door cards out!

All sorted now tho
