It started with an intermittent fault on the fog light, it would not turn off. Easy, i pulled the bulb. 2 wks went by and all ok. Then couple of nights ago my dip beam lights came on just by themselves n wouldn't go off. Easy, i pulled the fuse. Then next night my dash lights were on and wouldn't go off, again i pulled the fuse to save the battery. Last night my stereo was on and wouldn't turn off. This has now killed the battery. Its one thing after another. Has anyone had the same or have any idea what it might be please???

Yours desperately,

Had a similar thing happen with our Chim. The main beam started flashing whilst driving down the M1 - a bit embarrassing

Removed the fuse to briefly solve the problem. Re-connected it later and it was fine... Must have been a loose connection.

whatever

If it was a cerb, I'd say your big fuse was on its way out.

Does the Tuscan suffer similar "big fuse woe" ?
