Unhappy

Hi.

Everythng seems to be going wrong electrically with me motor. I have a uk MY95 (un-chipped). Things started with the ABS light but have gradually got worse in that the front fogs (never use them, honest ), the horn, the interior fan and now the brake lights have all failed one by one (I could at least use the car til the brake lights went). I was steared in the direction of the interior fusebox which I have replaced with another but this hasn't cured the problem .

Has anyone out there in Scoobyland had or heard of this problem?

Help!!!

Thanks in advance

Steve

Question

When the different circuits have failed did they blow fuses or just stop working? could be a bad earth somewhere.

No fuses blown at any time. Played about with a length of wire and by connecting the horn fuse position in the fuse box to live (not really recommended but was only a short test) got it to work. This incedentally also triggered the fan and front fogs which tells me they are linked somewhere on the circuit. Trouble is I don't know enough to rectify the problem and now I've found that the fusebox wasn't really the problem I'm stumped...
