...yeah forgot about that....! fusebox had it ya reckon?

 

I'd say a load of the main live wires coming out of the back of the fusebox have melted into each other.

The kind of mistake you make once and once only

By the sounds of that Ocky,id say pain is going to be your new friend.

 

First step might be to swap the fusebox? If that fails, It could be take the dash out and start replacing/inspecting sections of loom..

 

i had to re-wire an awful lot of my mk2 in the last two weeks. once the fuse box is pulled down and the dash lifted up a bit I replaced one loom at a time, not a bad job really, very time consuming tho

only thing that annoys me was it would of been completely avoidable, someone took a wire cutters to my electrics during the respray

have fun!

 

all relays replaced and its fixed

yes will never do that again!

 

Good to hear it wasn't a mental job so..

 

yeah thank god........had to drive home last night holding the full beam on!

Been there a few times myself!

 

I have the same prob with brians 16v but never had smoke from fuse box!! Did you only replace relays or did you have to re-wire anything?? Havent had the chance to work on car lately but not workin tomorrow so hopefully ill get the chance!

 

lucky i read this thread, i was going to do the exact same thing!
im just cleaning up the gti grill and lights i got from Paul and planning on fitting them when it stops fecking raining.
can i hook the inner lights up as front fogs? the lights themselves are wired up together with a connection at the end. will the wiring/fuses be there for them?
im not 100% but from memory i might only have rear fogs...
car is a 88 CL 1.6 if that helps

What problem are you having? The inner spots are relayed, the stalks are mk3 items, the board wires are perfect and the loom from headlight switch is is perfect nick.
Actually, you took out the inners dident you? I take it you dident fit higher wattage bulbs to the outers?
