I think that's another fuse but I can't find which on the diagrams... It sounds sort of like this viewtopic.php?f=3&t=12736&p=112928&hili ... ng#p112928 maybe worth a look. I don't think the lift pump fuse will have gone because it felt depressed

You say the lift pump fuse would not just go I towed my caravan back from Wales 70 odd miles and have been driving mix of town and fast roads and hasnt missed a beat any ideas why it just popped a fuse when it went it was just idleing no lights etc on no radio cheers Paul

Hi tonko0007, your plight reminded me of this article about Peugeot Towbar wiring http://www.autospeed.com/cms/A_112936/article.html

Personally, I never hook up with the engine running/circuits energised because of the potential for a "back EMF" - essentially a power surge to blow components - the same reason that I don't "hot plug" computer components unless they're specifically designed to be hot-plugged (USB for example).

I hope that you managed to trace your blown fuses successfully.
Good luck.
