If the resistance drops the current drawn goes up.
I = V/R

parthiban Are all the connections on that sidelight ok? As in the proper wiring, not the wiring that you've added?I've checked and I think it's all fine. I suppose there's always the possibility of some small fault I can't see in the OEM wiring, but then again if there was a short it should blow the OEM fuse ? (which it doesn't)
Sparkystav Could one of the resistors be failing in the LED strip?Could be. But then again, the replacement LED strip is showing exactly the same problem as the original one (I've replaced it), so I don't think that's likely to be the cause. Unless something is making a resistor fail purely on that side ?

Are they still scotch locked? could it be something to do with that if they are, damp or something, probably way off but just a thought:biggrin:

Nah, I soon realised that scotch locks are rubbish, it's all soldered now.

Logically that should lead to the fault lying with the additional wiring installed for the strip - so I'd be inclined to remove everything on that side and do it all over again using brand new parts (wire, diode, fuse and fuseholder) and resolder and seal up again.

It is an odd one, the fact that it works fine without the strip indicates that the OEM wiring is fine, and the fact that it fails with a new strip as well indicates that it's not the strip itself that's at fault.........

02-09-2016, 02:46 AM #16Thanks Parthiban. Basically I'd already swapped everything, *except* yesterday I realised I hadn't swapped the fuseholder. I am going to take a look at that, and maybe swap the fuseholders over from one side to the other, to see if the problem then moves or not.

I've probably just jinxed it by saying this though !

18-09-2016, 08:58 AM #17Quick update on this - all I've done so far is swap out the 160mA fuse for a 200mA one and so far, so good.

Still seems to be working fine. If it carries on working fine then I can only presume it is somehow taking slightly more current on one side to the other, for what reason I have no idea ! :confused1:

23-09-2016, 05:17 AM #20Well I didn't expect the change of fuse to "fix" it, it was really clutching at straws. But then again I couldn't see why it was blowing in the first place.
