Thread: Blowing the fuse when I select reverse??

Reckon mine was shorting at front where harness bends back inside chassis, - cann't confirm without removing harness, it was an intermittent fault. I was at the point of running a new wire when I accidentally fixed mine

What Brett said ;

Given this seems to be a problem with 300TDI's, would it be possible to shove a length of that electrical concertina insulation stuff that's split up the side, in over that length of the loom. I've never seen it out so don't know if it'd work.

Yes, but it will become difficult after a metre or so. I run conduit over my whole loom but fitted it with the loom out of the LR. If you ft the split stuff, run a few raps of electrical tape over the section where you are sliding the conduit on as the shard edges can damage the cable. (I found anyway).

The flexible conduit is cheap and will safe lots of grief over time.

Also, you can't slid it over the end as there are splits and joins that wont fit through the conduit.
