auto electricians

Are there any members near Stratford upon Avon that are good with electrics and fault finding. I have been rewiring my A65 and it blows the fuse the moment I put it into the holder. I cannot see what is wrong. I have disconnected the lights and brake light to eliminate them but still it blows.
I'm at my wits end.

As you have a short wire a bulb across the the fuse holder. The bulb will light. Now you can move the wiring until the light goes out, this will enable you to find the problem.

Hi,

'+' or '-" earth?  Is the battery connected the right way around?

It's positive earth and yes the battery is wired correctly

I like that idea if it stops me wasting fuses
