    My dashboard lights and anything around the steering wheel doesn't work when this 10amp fuse keeps blowing, I can only turn on high beams.
    Any ideas why it keeps blowing?
    I read somewhere it may be a wire shorting under the handbrake... I noticed it did blow after I had pulled up stationary at home. It would be good to get any idea of what it might be before I rip in to the interior so I can get all of it done at once.

    Is this the 'clearance' 10amp fuse?

    If it is, could be one of like 50 things. I finally took mine to a pro who nailed it down to dodge fog light wiring.

    Drove me bonkers for the longest time!

    I always thought the problems where high beams only went was when theres a problem with the headlight wiring/fuse ...
    Do you have a TT? Standard intercoolers?

    Ahhh I'm a total novice at this so no idea what 'clearance' fuse is :/
    It's the one under the steering wheel near the foot pedals.

    Car is NA.
    Recently put in an amplifier but I can't see how that is directly affecting it?

    It's in getting a check-up at the moment, can't wait to get it back and just get stuck into it and sort it out.
    I'm going to end up going through all the wiring :s
