Blowing Fuses....Help!
« 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

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