Dashboard light fuse keeps fusing

    Hello,

    The dashboard light on my faithful 240 keeps fusing for some reason. I
    changed it twice in three weeks already.

    Could it be because the mechanic changed the rear brake light to a
    non-standard bulb (higher resistance) - the red Volvo warning for the lights
    is also on.

    Cheers,

    JM

    If the fuse does not blow right away, it's not a dead short. Since it takes
    time to blow, it's just a bit excessive current. If the mechanics change was
    the start of the fuse blowing, I'd say it was related.
