Sorted!!!
Well I took all the connections off the loom and started to have a look at each inividual part.
Everything was fine phisically and electrically.
I put it all back together with a new fuse and it worked.
I don't know what it was!!!:confused1:
I'm just glad it's working again

main fuse is meant to be 20A? is on my '97 600E. i replaced it with a circuit breaker from a lynx helicopter, now when it pops i just push it back in to reset.
sods law, since i put it in 5yrs ago the fuse has never gone!

Been following the post - voodoo and all.
There must have been a short else the fuse would never pop. What I have seen is that sometimes two wires are pressed very tightly against each other - thinning the insulation and you get the short. Once you checked all cabling you separated them apart - no more short.
Perhaps seat pressure on cable?
Or those gremlins ....

I was given some resetable spade fuses by an automotive mechanic from Germany. So possibly available from an auto electrical supplier.
Might be easier than trying to find a chopper to pinch one off.

Check that your headlight, turn signals(front and rear) and rear brake light wires are not shorting out or making bad contact...
Did you place the battery terminals like they should be? (don't shoot me, it can be something that weird lol :confused1: ) or you could have switched the one of the 3 wires of the stator.. :confused1:

Never jump to end of a thread without reading the rest... I just saw you already solved it lol... :S
