Hi all,

After a year for not using my Bongo, I called an electrician,
he checked and found out that the connection needed a good clean.
He advised me to clean all the connection [front boot].

thanks Geoff

i will buy those large fuses as a spare.

i understand why this types of fault are annoying, personally this drive me crazy in one way and on other way i learnt a lot about car electricity for the last 3 weeks.

Hi all
Update about my progress

I still have and I cannot find the short circuit on the fuse 60 IG KEY (X02 fuse box)
It just disappeared but I am not confident to use my bongo.

I have tested all the wiring from the switch to the fuse box (driver side X04 and front oneX02) and from the switch to ...

following your advice, yesterday i checked.

but before i did touch and inspected visually the wiring form the ignition switch, the fuses boxes.
i did reuse the blown 60amp fuse (home made fix, just 3 time).
the bongo started :)

tomorrow i will narrow it down, need to find this the short circuit ...

thanks again to point me where to look.
i will check, and i think from the position 1 the problem start.
i will do it now and test all the ancillary wire to the fuse block X03, and keep you updated.

thanks a lot you are giving me hope.
