dash and lights

[N8CYL]

Driving out today, put my headlights on but after about 5 minutes the lights went out along with the dash lights. Also noted that clock stopped. Checking the Bible the fuse for the dash and the clock appears to be the same fuse but why the lights as well? can anyone help please?

Thanks

That fuse also probably powers the trip side (switching current) of the headlight relay too

Hi checked fuse today and it is 10A fuse which has blown. The Bible suggests this should be a 15A fuse, does anyone know if there has been a change from 15A to 10A?
Thanks

Mines 15a and whilst your at it fit a circuit breaker, easier to reset than faffing for a fuse
