Title: Blowing Fuses....Help!
Post by: Allblackcars on May 29, 2016, 06:52:13 am

When I hit my brakes I hear a pop from the fuse panel area. I have tail lights but no brake lights.
This issue continued for a couple days and then I noticed my right turn signal dash light not blinking.
I started tampering with the turn signal stalk and then it will blow the turn signal fuses when I put right turn signal on, only....

So the brake light fuse was the first issue
Right turn signal became the second...Not sure if it's related

Go to the right rear tail light and remove inspect the bulb, socket and related wiring.

I pulled the lens and then the assembly... Didn't see anything noticeable. Cleaned spade that clamps onto assembly... Wires dusty but nothing frayed...
