I have noticed a nic in the yellow wire half way up but only seems to be in the plastic covering but also the yellow plastic has rolled back off the wire as it joins the connector but still seems stable ajn

But it could be shorting out ;) ;)

Get some tape over it and try again :y

That sounds like broken adjusters ;)

Afraid you'll have to check the wiring as that's most likely cause of fuse blowing. Of course, it may have just been a dodgy bulb but...
