Re: brake light
Not sure I understand fully. Do you mean that the fuse blows as soon as you put it in, or that the fuse was blown and you replaced it. A blown fuse typically results from a short in the system - power wire (+) coming in direct contact with ground, before going through the bulb.
If the fuse blows repeatedly, you'll have to trace the wiring to check for a direct contact to ground (chaffed wire on frame, etc.). Start by checking the wiring near the tail lights. There is alot of exposed wiring there that can get damaged. Also, ensure that your bulb sockets are clean and not shorting out inside as well. Happy hunting... |
