Saxo VTS - Fuse 12 electrical problems
Discussion
I've got a problem with my car electrics. Something is causing fuse 12 to blow routinely which then knocks out my interior dash lights, front side lights, right hand rear tail light and the lights on warning buzzer.
Stragely, when the fuse has already blown, sometimes when I have my foot on the brake (only noticed this when stationary and when the lights are NOT on) the interior dash lights come on and the drivers side front side light comes on. I'm not sure whether the tail light comes on when this happens or not, I only know the side light is on from the reflection of the car in front.
I've had an auto electrician look at it and thought it was fixed, but the problem has just re-appeared, I have no idea what could be causing it, any help much appreciated!

Fingers crossed, it looks like I might have this fixed.
Turns out to be a bulb, can't quite believe it myself, but looks like the bulb I had in the cluster was faulty. When the brake light came on it was also sending power through the tail light, which was then causing the fuse to blow.
Early days, but so far so good
