Dixie69 Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Hi all, we have a 2002 fiat ducato mclouis.The fuse which controls the near side rear tail light and the dashboard lights keeps blowing. I've checked the connections at the light cluster and all good. Does anyone know if there's a relay involved? Many thanks Dean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
euroserv Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Just checking the archive part of my brain.... are you losing your reverse lights as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixie69 Posted September 14, 2016 Author Share Posted September 14, 2016 Yes, just got the one reverse light in the same cluster and it's not working either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
euroserv Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Okey dokey. I have seen this quite a few times and it baffled us for some time before we figured it out...... There is a heater element in the inlet pipework at the front of the engine, towards the passenger side. There is a connector attached to it. Remove the connector and you will solve your problem. The heater is only called into service in cases of extreme low temperatures and as a result is never used, but is still fitted to all 2.8JTD engines. The device gets corroded over time and the contacts inside short out. It's a very expensive item to replace, so don't even think about removing it because it comes with the pipe. You won't ever need it. Let us know how you get on. I would send you a picture but i don't have any 2.8JTD's lying around at the moment. On the other hand, if yours is not a 2.8JTD, you have another problem! Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixie69 Posted September 14, 2016 Author Share Posted September 14, 2016 Thanks for the suggestion but mine's a 2.0 JTD ! Looks like it's a different problem then......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keithl Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Dixie, Exactly when does the fuse blow? ie As soon as you fit it, when you turn the ignition on, start the engine, turn side lights on, select reverse, etc, etc... Keith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixie69 Posted September 14, 2016 Author Share Posted September 14, 2016 As soon as you turn on the lights with the ignition on, the fuse blows instantly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
