Anyway, your suggestion on isolating the problem at the switch makes a lot of sense, I will do that if the fuse blows again.
Thank you, much appreciated, Mike

Idid check the headlight wiring and it was fine
A loose connector won't blow a fuse. To blow a fuse requires drawing excess amps. A loose connector would actually result in a high resistance, which would draw fewer amps.

Look very carefully at all the wiring, especially where it contacts anything metal. There might be a place where the insulation has rubbed through. It can be a very small place.
