Re: 1949 Chevy with S10 swap. Beginner build with ambition!

I still think you are lacking a ground, and you have a ground loop that is letting the lights ground through the taillight bulbs

nothing and I mean NOTHING short of a dead short will pop a 25A fuse. an ATC type fuse will pass 300% its rated current for about a second before blowing. a dead short is the only thing that will pop a fuse instantly. that means you have something grounded that should not be (pinched wire, bare end touching metal), or you have something wired incorrectly.

that steering column thing catches everyone. once you understand that on a single bulb system the turn signal is actually the brake light, it just kind of clicks that you have to have the correct wiring at the column and brake switch.
