Hi,
Dunno what is happening but fuse # 9 keeps blowing out. This happens almost as soon as i start the car. i can let it on accessory and everything is fine. As soon as i start the car, #9 goes up in smoke... # 9 controls the turn indicators, stop lights & reverse lights. I've also wired the fuel pump for my carburators on this fuse. It's been like this for years. Everything was fine. Now this started happening yesterday. I'm kinda clueless as for how I should trace what is going on. |

Reverse lights?
Check the wiring on the two reverse light housings in the rear bumper. The screws holding the housings to the bumper actually are a ground, so if they are wired wrong a direct short will occur and pop the fuse. |
