Okay, I am really irritated with this.
1. I cannot find a short in any wiring 2. The parking lights, which did blow a fuse no longer blow a fuse (more on this later) 3. Now the headlights do with the ignition on 4. The parking light, tail lights, and brake light on the LEFT SIDE ONLY do not work 5. Could the headlight switch be the problem? 6. I have a fuse at the battery. With electronic ignition and carb, how many amps is reasonable for that fuse? Thanks. |

I recently had a similiar problem. Then I remember I had repainted the inside of my front turn signal lights. I reversed the two wires (not ground) coming into the light, and that's all it took. I was blowing a fuse everytime I put the hazards on, high beams didn't work, it was a PITA.
THEN I thought I should double check the wires and there it was, I had the wires in on the wrong terminals-problem solved. That went on for a week!!!! Any electrical changes you made recently that seem to simple to be the problem? Double check those connections! |
