I have a problem with the traction control switch blowing a 10 amp fuse for the right side light of the car. Does anyone know where I should start looking for the problem. It only happens when I try to switch it on. I did have the rear fog lamp on there and thought it might be drawing too much current. I've disconnected the lamp but it still happens. :Cry1:

If it blows instantly then you have a direct short circuit somewhere, especially to blow a 10A fuse.

The switch itself may be faulty and shorting out.
Damaged cable/loose touching something else.
Duff relay or solenoid.. where these are I have no idea.

Could be worth tracing the cables 'if you can' and check for a relay that works with the traction control, possibly found amogst the fuses.
