Fuse keeps blowing, 5th from left Options

[ventilator01]

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

To funny,

We just did this too, putting my sons car together...

My son, not me, actually wired up one side backwards from the other...

In the front, you have two hot wires leading to the front parking light/turn signal.

One of the wires has a double connector splice that goes back to the side marker light...

This is the parking light circuit...

Make sure it is on the same conector on BOTH SIDES of the car on the parking light housing...

Its easy enough to figure out without a drawing.

Take off the front parking light cover..
turn on the parking lights.
If the bigger element is on, you need to switch the two power leads on that parking light...

Once you get all the leads correct, on both front parking lights, and front blinker lights, yoy can tie in the side markers now.

If you still have wierd issues, you need to verify that the rear parking light circuits and blinkers are correct.

If you dont do them all the same, I.e. parking lights run the smaller filament, blinkers run the bigger filament, you will get wierd and sometimes different results every time you test the system...

Just take your time and realize that there is only one correct way to wire these lights.

When wired wrong , you are either drawing to much current for the light circuit (blown fuses) or your blinkers wont work (not enough draw to heat up the blinker relay)

Good luck, be patient, do both sides the same.
