We have an (ageing) Stag which has developed an occasional problem. It cuts out every now and then on a journey - usually in the wet by blowing the Overdrive fuse. I'm guessing I have a short going on somewhere in the Ignition system but I've checked the wiring as much as I can by 'twiddling' the wires to try and encourage the fuse to blow and nothing wrong. I've checked primarily around the gearstick and overdrive switch and also underneath the car to the Starter Motor. Because it happens mostly in the wet, I thought it might be a wire underneath, maybe to or from the Starter Motor but, again, no problem when fiddling with the wires. However, whilst looking things over again today I noticed that the Battery Control fuse had also blown. Now it may be that this fuse has been blown for quite a while as I know I haven't replaced it recently. Now, as a long-shot I know, could it be that the Battery Control fuse somehow regulates power through the system and therefore putting more power through the Overdrive Fuse, causing it to blow? Probably a stupid thing to suggest but I cannot find what else it could be? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! [/quote]   Check here to include your profile signature.
