Wiring problems
I've fitted a new loom to my 200tdi project. I can't get the dipped to work. Also the fuse blows when I try to make the wipers work. I've put a new stalk on and have disconnected the motor and fuse stil pops.
It's an autosparks loom and everything else is fine.

Any advice ???

Without an insulation tester or ohmeter it is just a matter of continuing to disconnect the outputs first then the inputs wherever possible in the circuit continually replacing the fuses until they no longer blow to determine where the short circuit lies be it in one of the components (like the stalk itself) or the loom.

'Half split' fault finding method is also a good way of rapidly finding the cause.
