Dash/parking lights fuse keeps blowing

Post by **gravetolife91** » Sun Feb 13, 2005 7:04 am

This problem just occured the other day i tried replacing it, using a higher number of amps, and almost everything. I don't know what to do. Any help would be appriecated.

I believe you should use the correct amp the fuse say to use. Using higher amps will only make it blow over and over also mess up your car.

I do use the correct fuse, and it still blows.

Electrical problem maybe? Hmm...my bulb also kept blowing because i think i installed it wrong. Try checking that too. If not, i don't know....sorry

if ur fuses keep on blowing it probaly a ground that is not connected somewhere.

Well if it is a ground problem, could some one post up a wiring diagram form the fuse box. Or maybe if ones already been posted give me the link.

You need to isolate the problem...start disconnecting light bulbs, tail lights,etc anything on the illumination circuit one at a time....(have plenty of new fuses for the test) until the fuses stop burning, thats means that the disconnected lightbulb assy is the culprit.....and...hate to tell you but the cluster will also have to be disconnected.... it takes a little bit of work....

after you find the guilty connection then check for bad wiring or shorted connector...

good luck dude....

Have done any thing related to your cluster or lights??? new cluster??? etc..

Im afraid is in your cluster....

I was going to ask if you had checked all the lights and stuff. When I got my car one of the parking lights didn't work so I took it apart and water came pouring out, the bulb socket was pretty badly corroded. I suspect an electical wiring or grounding problem as well if you amp is blowing now. you can search and find sites where you can get an FSM with all the electrical schematics in there, or I could send you the electrical section if you have an S13.

bcar240,That would be great if you could send me that stuff for the S13.

have u changed ur radio? ur illumination wire may be grounding itself so check that out. thats what happened to me.
