2004 CRV lights problem

[Martin P]

advice needed. late 2004 CRv.
1st setting (lights off) comes on automatic here in norway when i turn the ignition on. all lights work in that setting.
2nd setting nothing works and that fuse blows everytime i turn to that setting.
3rd setting front dipped or high work but no back lights work except brake n reverse..
any ideas????

Do the rear number plate lights come on in position 1?

yes

That's the first idea gone west, then.
Are there any lights that should come on in second position that are not on in the first position?

don't think so... fog lights don't work in any position . no light in glove box or around climate controls. i read those work with 2nd position . not sure though.

If there's no difference, what's the point of the second position?
There will be lamps illuminating various internal controls, and I expect these only come on in the second position, so that's where I'd be looking for the fault.
