Hey
Got these cool little chrome windscreen washers on the weekend with little blue led's that come on with my parkers. They go great for about half an hour, then my fuse goes, I lose one of my parkers, the led's disappear and my dash lights f*ck off as well???

As far as I know everything is wired correctly- earth to chassis, and hooked up directly to the park lights, but can anyone tell me why my fuses keep blowing?

Thanks

Your earth isnt strong enough.. Try earthing it elsewhere.. or using thicker wire/bigger contact point.

i have had washer jet led for 2 years now same ones and no problems and wired the same as you have.

Maybe your car's allergic to them?

You are probably drawing too much current from that circuit and consequently blowing the fuse.

Try connecting the washer jets to another source for power, then run a relay to switch them on with your parkers.

they are just leds though?? whats another 100mA (at the most) gonna do? the fuse + wiring should be able to take that fine

put them on a relay and ur problem will go away.. i dont like them anyway.. the are so old news..

Thats my story anyway..

but wouldn't the relays coil draw the same current as 2 leds??

Leds set up correctly at 12-14v only draw around 20mA each. That won't be your problem.

I dont know.. easiest solution is get rid of them then.. lol
