weird electrical problem

[shanes14]

i keep blowing my tail lamp fuse, which happens to be linked with my cluster lights..

it started after i painted my car.. but i dont see how that has anything to do with it..


it doesnt just automatically blow, i can turn the lights on and off and it just blows whenever it feels like it, but usually after i let it sit or drive it for a less than a minute

it also resets my radio(not every time) idk???

ive checked the harness's and they all look alright, took out my subs/amp, and took out the cluster to see how those wires looked(they were untouched).

so i rewired my radio to see if it would help cuz it was a huge mess of wires,, didnt do anything

im out of ideas.. anybody have any input?


its all happening in my s14(if it matters)


im going to trace the wires from the back harness's up to the front of the car to see if i can find any open wiring or anything.. ill update if i find anything unusual

my problem was the liscense plate light wires were melted together (in the trunk) you should check that.

i also took the electrical tape off of teh passenger side of the taillight harness.. try it
