Sounds like a short somewhere.

As it's now doing it all the time (i.e. not intermittent), it would probably be easier and quicker to get an auto electrician to investigate.

Check the engine loom for rubbing on the brackets that hold it in position. Some are metal and due to the age of our cars we will see this problem more often

Hi Steve! Sorry, missed your reply earlier...

Can't think of anything else than what's been said already, and intermittent faults are the worst to trace.
