Yes they are all connected in some way......, you have an earth fault.

Check all existing..., and you may have to install a new one or two......

I had a similar problem a couple of weeks ago when ever i put main beam on it would cut out lights clock and radio. The main feed for the circuit comes straight from the battery to the fuse box. On the o/s inner wing there is a bunch of wires that go into a fabric type sleeve. The wire joins in there and on mine it was corroded through. I replaced the wiring and has been fine since

Hope this helps.

2nd fuse down, middle row, cant remeber the number.

Blown it myself, LR dont rate the radio circuit to deal with modern high-output radios, so I vapourised the fuse :)
I must confess the the activities of the UK governments for the past couple of years have been watched with frank admiration and amazement by Lord Vetinari. Outright theft as a policy had never occured to him.
