Greetings all,
Please excuse the first of what will probably be a small stream of posts as I'm finally with the 914 for a few days so I'm working through a few things. First item: I changed out the bulbs in my pilot driving lights that are in the stock positions - put there by a PO or probably Brad Mayeur. I changed them to standard H3 55w lamps but went to a little more blue color to match the LED headlights I have installed along with the spoke works relay to deal with rapid flash and other side effects of the LEDs. The fog light fuse - 3rd from the right - gets pretty hot and will eventually melt but does not blow. Could it be as simple as high resistance at the fuse location in the fuse box? It appears - through trouble shooting - that it only happens when the drivers fog light is installed. if it's not and only the passenger lamp is installed, no issue. Different lamps show the same behavior. Thanks for the input! |

Try cleaning the fuse ends and the tabs of the fuse panel with a dremel tool. You need to remove any oxidation and crud on the tabs. Contact cleaner will not do it. They must be shiny and free of debris for the best operation.
