can't be a coincidence....why is it marked "K"

I think Kia has been using them also. Perhaps due to they are more powerful? I ask as your into this stuff big time.

 

I have not seen K relay for KIA. The only other car than Volvo (p/n 1235893) that I know of which uses this type of relay is '98 Mercedes ML320 (maybe other models as well). I don't have the p/n but they call it K15 and it is yellow. Otherwise, the Bosch numbers are:

0 332 015 001
0 332 015 006
0 332 015 012
0 332 015 013

 

This one comes in nice colour: BOSCH 0-332-015-001 - Relay | eBay

 

I think this is the issue what do you think?

 

The K relay will not blow the fuse #10 because it is "before" the fuse. From the fuse #10, there are two branches: one to the tail lights (to the 2 inner of the 3 small bulbs) and to the license plate lights (from the RH tail light); the other branch goes to the instrument panel illumination etc. Partial short in one of these two branches is blowing the fuse. Before you start digging into the instrument panel, I suggested to do the much easier step first (in the other thread). The inline connector for the license plate lights is just below the RH tail lamp, easy the access.

 

Burnt right bulb at the license plate.
I appreciate all the help
