ive had this issue for a while now and its been driving me crazy. ive been trying various methods to fix it for a few months now to no avail. fuse 10 on my car is blowing when i use the headlights, blowers or reverse lights with one of the others. ive traced all the wires back and checked the resistor and it all seems fine. i have sidelights and the blowers work a little when 10 is blown.

if i use the blowers while fuse 10 is dead then it seems to draw a lot of power as indicated with the dash parking light.

i have checked all of the wiring diagrams and can see no correlation with the 3 of them. does anyone have any ideas that i may have missed?

Have you checked the wiring to the reversing light switch?
