Fuses Keep Blowing

Post by Blue_Bonne »

In my 94 bonneville, my park lights fuse keep blowing every time I pull the switch out.... I have aftermarket fog lights not factory plugged up to tha factory switch in the car.

I had this problem with my '94 SSEi...unfortunately I never figured it out.

Replaced the headlight switch, cleaned the grounds, cleaned all the bulb sockets... everything. Hopefully someone can help you on it now... a few years back I was puzzled.

Never put a higher than specified fuse in.... you will have flames.

:stupid:

Put the stock fuse back in there NOW.

Would your HID's have anything to do with it?

I put the 15a fuse back in and it blew again but my HID light has a relay with the kit. They work perfectly

So I found out what where the problem is coming from. I unplugged all my lights and plugged them up 1 by 1. Turns out to be the far right side tail lamp. So I have them unplugged at the moment. Quick question... When I turn my right turn signal on, the amber light on the head lamp assembly lights up and stays on (doesn't blank). Weird. I still need help any ideas just let me know.
