Question about the fuzez

Hey guys, on my car one fuze keeps blowing, it controls the Front right park light, the rear right tail light and the dash lights...

Is this right? is one fuze ment to have this much stuff on it? BTW its the very last fuze on the left if you looking under the dash.

anyone know why it may be blowing?

I had similarly.....but I have LHD Stazza :)

Problem was cluth pedal (when I released pedal it brushed the relay box). It cause a short circuit there.

The insulating tape helped

You keep blowing it because it is probably shorting out / earthing.

Look for a bad connection touching something else.
Look for parts of the wires where the insulation has worn off (as per comment above)
Are you using the correct size fuse?

Not sure if water leaking into lights or wiring can cause a short (blown fuse)... anyone?

well i sealed off all the loose wires underneath my sterio and it seems to have stopped the fuze from blowing (i think...) but im still not sure.

I took my staz to JB to get an alarm fitted and me thinks that they have fucked my wiring some how as the car was never doing this before.

So that is why i was interested if one fuze should be in charge of the dash lights, front right parking light, rear right tail light and the squeel that the car makes when you leave your lights on and take out your key. Just seems like a lot of stuff for one fuze to be connected too...
