Radio/Clock Fuse keeps blowing

Thanks guys.

I expect the back of the radio has got water in it. Either from a leaking screen or just from the bulk head vents.

Leave the plug out of the back of the radio and replace your fuse and if it doesn't blow you know it's the radio, if it does blow it's probably the clock. Ray

I think that fuse does the interior light too?

Yes it does, the wire between my front and rear interior light shorted which caused my radio fuse to blow.

That could be it. It first happened after I tried to change the bulb. 1999 Td5 110 CSW

In that case check you haven't bent a terminal in the interior light fitting so it is shorting.
