I doubt the sr swap has anything to do with blowing the taillight fuse or you would see other problems as well. Good luck on finding that 1. Check the fsm and see what all could cause the fuse to blow and start eliminating things.

I had that same problem, turnned out to be a short in one of the front side marker lights that I had.

That might give you a clue as to what you need start looking at.

Paul,

I probably asked you this before, but what wheels are you running on that S14? Can you/Cardinal sell me a set?

Check the bulbs in the fsm and taillights and make sure they are correct. You might also look at the fsm and find the ground location for the harness and check it's secure/clean.

Checking for shorts is also a good idea.

did you just put in a new radio? I had this problem after installing a new radio. I had it grounded wrong. Hope this helps. Also if you have not put in a new radio, have you installed and new elextronics?

They are Volk GT-C's, I actually got them through Enjukuracing. I'd hit them up http://www.enjukuracing.com I'm not 100% sure of the offset, it was 18x9 up front and 18x10 in the back. I wanna guess and say offset was 38 and 42 but don't quote me on that. I sold the wheels with the car about 2 months ago.
