while driving home today, my rev gauge, stereo and obc turned off, got home and looked in the bentley manual, and took a guess at the fuse that might have gone, but now everytime i touch a fuse on it, it blows it, its no 21 fuse, it controls alot, not just the 3 aforementioned so im baffled where to start when finding out where the spike in current is, does anyone have any suggestions

fuse 21 powers the rechargeable torch in the glovebox start there. if you look on the teck articals section there is a complete list of fuse's and what they link to ,start with the easy items first and work you way from there one of the will have a short to earth, if you are lucky will not take to long but it can take a while to sort

These questions would be a lot easier to answer if people would state what car it refers to!
Will only be the glovebox light if it's a pre mid '88 car.
