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. |

Did you change or move anything before this happened?
Which fuse is blowing with the headlights on? |

Did you change or move anything before this happened? Which fuse is blowing with the headlights on? I pulled the speedo to do a cable lube. Put it together and then the fuse popped. It is a fuse on the battery, it popped with JUST the parking lights. However, NOW, the 20A (which may be too light) popped with the headlights and key on. I removed all the instrument light wiring because I thought that was the problem . .it is not. |
