Rocam. My brake lights, temperature gauge, petrol light, speedometer on dash not working. The fuse keeps on bursting when switching the keys on.

Hey HLANGO81,

I would start by removing the brake light bulbs and checking the sockets to see if the terminals have melted together. This would cause the short you are describing. Check it out and get back to me.

Best, Ken
