Re: HELP keep blowing fuse!

So, the fuse blows when you use the brake and the turn signal and does not blow when you use the flashers? Need to confirm that the flashers don't blow a fuse as it is a separate circuit. If the flashers blow it, it is more likely in the taillight wiring.

Assuming the above is true, the only things it could be are:

-mis wired or shorted at the steering column multi connector (likely) This is easy to mix up. Check page 84-87 of instructions.
-defective/mis wired brake switch.
-short in the column (not likely since you've tried 2 switches)
-defective blinker switch (not likely since you've already tried 2)
-defective/mis wired dome light switch (that is the only other thing on the circuit).

PS> Do the blinkers work until you hit the brake?

So looked at it so I can plug one of my LED United Pacfica taillights on one side and then a Standard Incidence bulb on the other to get the LED to work but when the switch is engaged for the opiste side with the stanadard bulb it dull flashes.
