Default Keep blowing tail light/ parking light fuse 94 legacy - 01-06-2007 , 02:27 PM






Every time I replace my tail lamp fuse it blows the instant I turn on
the parking lights. Anyone have this problem. Is it possible the
headlamp/parking lamp switch on the steering wheel is bad?
Any suggestions?
Robert

antares,
It sounds like a short in the rear wiring. Do you have a trailer wiring
harness installed? Has the car been in a rear ender collision. You will
probably have to trace the wiring to find the short.

Sparky,
Thanks you were close, it was the wiring I have rigged in the front to
work the brake lights while I am towing the car. Somehow I managed to
get one of the wires (parking lights) in between one of the bolts when
I tightened it down for the tow bar and the frame of the car and it
worked for a while until it pinched it hard enough and it wore though.
