    Hi guys - first time post.
    As with a few of the post here I also have a problem with my 106 in
    terms of its electrics.
    Its based around the radio - blowing fuses etc - buit it is an old car
    - 92/93 so there are little things going anyway!!! Sob.
    Since I installed a new radio I had a fuse pop everytime which was for
    the rear offside light - ended up disconnecting radio when I drove with
    lights on! Not the best of plans but all i could achieve at the time.
    Now I have a new problem that could be connected. I turned the lights
    on with radio connected and instead of the rear light fuse popping the
    main headlights refused to come on! Side lights are good as are full
    beam.
    I Disconnected the radio and checked fuses - all were fine, rear lights
    were fine and the warning noise sounded when i opened the door - same
    fuse i think.
    Now I am in a predicament that all my fuses seem to be ok (inside and
    under bonnet), the bulbs in the lights haven't blown yet i still do not
    have main lights!!! I though it could be some corrosion on the column
    but haven't checked that yet.
    Is it an earth issue with the radio casing, it must have had some earth
    or it wouldn't have worked no?? Earth issues elsewhere??
    Any ideas guys - please i'm starting to feel like cinderella!
