I recently had a wiring fault causing a short in the feed to the starter solenoid. This fault caused all electrics to temporarily die and then return after a few minutes. I have replaced a damaged piece of wire and this seems to have fixed the fault. I assume that there is a circuit breaker somewhere. Can anyone please tell me where the circuit breaker is located and what it looks like.

Many thanks,
Brian.

Actually there are 2. One(25amp) is in the headlight switch for them and the other aux CB(20 amp) is above the steering column on a support rail behind the gauge cluster.

These are "auto-reset" breakers, not the kind you have to reset manually after they trip.

Those headlight switch breakers have a nasty habit of tripping - when you're on a winding road doing about 60!!! LOL
