Right head light blowing fuses Options

[JFG]

I had a problem whereby the light bucket would not rise but would lower after manually winding it up. I used a check from pelican parts to jump between 87 & 30 in the relay socket (without the relay fitted)

This should jump the motor into a constant raise / lower mode in order to check the motor. It worked the motor perfectly. However when I now refit the relay it blows fuse 12 (16 amp) straight away.

This never happened before and yes I removed the jumper wire first.

Any help with this?

Here's a simple test for the relay -- Swap over the relay from the left side and see if the right headlight works properly. If the headlight works correctly, you have a bad relay. Otherwise, it's something else, but at least you've eliminated one variable.

Also, trace the wiring harness from the headlight back to the fuse block and make sure there is no damage to it. You could have a short somewhere.
