hi all

Presumably fuse 23 has blown. Why it has blown is another matter.
Try another fuse and hope. DONT FIT A BIGGER FUSE!

fuse 23 blowing, is that bad? what causes it to blow, commonly?

Certainly not good. No common cause that I know of.
Could be anywhere anlong the route the wire takes. Put a new fuse in and see if it holds. If it blows again anytime, take note of what you're doing at the time, and anything else that might be relavant.

I think its easy to find under the bonnet in the tray with the rest of the fuses. (small clear box at the back nearside of the engine bay)
