What now works with the fuses replaced?

Also do the hazard lights work?

Sigh........we had this with the door lock too...


8. Fuse No.2 is burned when replaced with new one, door open ignition off, tested twice.

[Doctor Gollum]

OK, I misread that. But I asked about the hazard lights in reply #04

As for the fuse layout, who do we know with an Astra J who might have an owners manual to look at

Google.

Thanks for activity, Hazard light blink but in those mentioned corners only.
Now circut diagram for fuse 2 is needed. Where to find?

Now I have to start to open connectors in different places to see, it's a 20A fuse so some kind of short somewhere. Perhaps I disconnect the body control module, too. All test ideas welcome.

Here it is seen thar this fuse is for Body Control Module K9. Is it the one in the right side of the central consol?

[dave the builder]

Does the Astra J have a REC ?
might be fuse links blown in that 
has the car got a tow bar fitted ? or any other aftermarket electrical hacked into the electricary 

REC = rear electrical centre = fuse box in the boot

I've seen the wrong bulbs fitted (LED, twin element in single sockets and vise versa) before on cars causing issues too  .

[polilara]

Yes, three fuse boxes. In engine "room", second under dash and third in the boot. Tow bar fitted 10 years ago. I took this morning the whole tow bar module (in boot) off from its wires but it did not help. The fuse No. 2 burns immediatey after installation even if ignition not on (door open). All other rear lights ok. Could wrong fitted bulb burn fuse if ignition not on and winkle in center position? No bulbs installed resently. Resent job jobbed is new timing kit according to your good tips but this in not the case...

[dave the builder]

so something is a direct short then ,
have you checked all the modules for stored fault codes ?

if you have checked the clusters already 
with clusters unplugged does fuse 2 or 3 blow ?

I guess the next step would be open the BCM and check for obvious damage to PCB  trace the wiring from fuse 2 and 3 of the cabin/dashboard to BCM to check for damage to that loom

then check the loom from clusters to BCM

[Doctor Gollum]

Towbar socket/wiring... Especially if it has a direct feed to the battery.

[polilara]

Thanks for comments

Have to check codes. Report you back then.

Are clusters same as these modules. I took away towbar module. It did not change anything. Was your idea to take connectors off from the BSM itself or in the other end. BCM has 7 connectors, each of them have 10-20 wires. if No. 5 is BCM here in the link below are the rest those clusters you talk about.

Can you take off connectors from BCM, I read here that have to do some prepare work "Prepare body control module for replacement, refer to . Control Module References" but cannot open the references

Today I realized that glove box light does not work. I changed pollen filter two weeks ago and I really do not know did the winklers work after that. In LH cars you have to remove glove box to achieve the filter. If I have short cut the light wires there that would be an option but very impropable.

If the whole BCM is broken is it an expensive part?

[Doctor Gollum]

Unplugging the towbar module is not the same as the socket at the towbar...

If the socket corrorodes it could short any of the lighting/power wires to ground. All the factory wiring does is loop from the lights to the control module.

The glove box is new information... I would start there.

[polilara]

OK, start from glow box.

So from the towbar socket comes a thick cable. Two wires were connected to car frame in the boot and rest went to this module. I took the wires off from the module + another connector off as well. The other had thick red and thick brown which I thought were the feed. So the whole socket was the off I think.

[polilara]

Strange! Glowbox Light wires were tightly together against a Steel tube which goes from lef to right behind the glowbox. Fuse does not burn anymore. Everything work. My fault, but don't tell it to anybody. Thanks for all support.
