Mend 16 Solve Problem

(56) Xsara Picasso 1.6 Desire. How can I solve a fuse problem?

The nearside 15 amp dipped headlight fuse keeps blowing. I have replaced fuse F10 under the bonnet several times - all to no avail.
Any suggestions?

There is very probably no problem with the fuse - the fuse blows to prevent the wiring becoming too hot and catching fire.

A 15A fuse can handle 180 Watts - it would be good (for you) to know the total wattage of the various lamps being supplied when the fuse blows.

My guess is that there's a short in the wiring circuit causing excessive current - if it's permanently there it will be easier to find - if it's intermittent then more difficult.
