Rover 45 sidelight circuit diagram. Can anyone help?

Hi there,
Not a 75 problem but swmbo's 45.
Keeps popping fuse for offside sidelight, tail light & no. Plate lights. Sometimes last a day, sometimes pops immediately. I have a Haynes but it's no use because it shows all side, tail & plate lights on one fuse which I know is incorrect. It's a 2005 model so I'm guessing the circuits were changed at some point.
Thanks

Hi, I think you need to check the wiring below the battery and where the wires pass over chassis legs as they are prone to rubbing though, I have had this on my mg zs

Hi,
Thanks for the response. I will check where you suggest, I've already checked as much of the light wiring I can get to easily. Would you know if the rave CDs have the correct circuit diagrams? The description on ebay says it does not 2005 models so I'm guessing there would be no point investing in that either

See if these uploads have worked

They are the R45 2004 version from RAVE

Thanks for that chris75.

I think I'll put the Rave disc on my Christmas list.
