hows damo? i was at the thing for 3 hours today and it blew fuse once when i dropped into reverse. i thought great , dead short , easy find. tested solenoid 5 ohms resistance both coils. traced wiring from fuse into a light brown wire under the dash that was showing a bit of resistance. pulled the bulbs on reverse lights, brown wire went open circuit.only thing i thought about was 1 bulb was a 5watt and the other side was 21watt ?.replaced 21watt with another 5 watt and plugged everything back in. all worked fine. run ammeter across fuse and found draw to be around 3 amps forward and just over 4 in reverse.panels back on and belted round the place for 20 mins ,all good so heres hoping
