Interior LED bulbs blowing fuse

BlakeS94 · 2021-01-27 10:25:45

Trying to change all my interior festoon bulbs to LED. When I was installing the second map light it wouldn't turn on so I tried a different LED that also didnt work. I checked the 10a fuse and it was blown. Any ideas as to why? I did have the door open and car had just been driven.

Not unheard of that interior LEDs can cause fuse problems.
Did you google the issue for your car model?

I got it sorted, disconnected negative battery terminal and replaced the fuse then installed all the lights and connected everything back up all working fine. They're festoon style lights and I read that they can short out easily.
