fuse number 12 peugeot 306 phase 2 /1999/ 1.6

Hi there,
My problem is that fuse 12 doesn't has any power through it, and as a result i'v got the abs warning light on and have no reverse light. It is not an earth problem because when i feed the fuse with power the problem is gone, but then the headlight goes on even when the ignition is off. Where do you advise me to begin with?
I dont know if the peugeot here in norway little different because the car manual says that fuse 12 is abs, reverse, headlight & parklight relay, etc.
Thanks for help and hope to hear from you soon

hi and welcome

have a look beneath the under bonnet fuse box, as i had a problem on a customers 306 had no head lights working, it was traced to a broken heavy gauge wire were the loom runs under this fuse box,

is appeared it had chaffed on the edge of some body work then shorted through,

hi and thanx for your reply.
im just woundering if the power wire from + in battery goes through the fuse box under bonent , through the ECU and finally to the fuse box or how?
just need to know the path of the supply wire frome the battery so i can follow it and know where the cut is.

i think i have some problem with lights since it should work with ignition on and without using the switch. now i have to use the switch.

Any body?

on the car i found a heavy feed wire broken i lifted the innards/try of the under bonnet fuse box out, then you can see the loom on its route under the fuse box,

the only way forward here is just explore, and i would start in the area i described above

Hi
I'v just did that and every thing seem good. All the wires are connected and clean. Can a damaged relay cause such problems?

Hi
Now I have feeded this fuse with power from another fuse ( the cigarette lighter since i do not smoke & Both are 20 amp) which has power just when ignition is on, and every thing seems ok and works as it should. I know it does not solve the problem but its the cheapest and easiest way.
There is just one thing i want to ask about, is this solution safe/ correct? please its urgent because im afraid that it can cause a fire.
Thank you for the positive response.
