Everytime I turn on the headlights, the 5th fuse from left blows, then have no tail lights on drivers side. When I first checked it both 5th and 6th fuse were blown, replaced both now 5th keeps blowing. Thx Steve

did you recently weld up or unplug your sidemarker holes? i shaved those lights and forgot to tend to the wiring.... i drove and then POP. the 2 terminals for the sidemarkers would short out.... just a though |
