keep blowing tail light fuses - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

repda916 · 07-02-2009, 01:38 AM

after playing in the mountains and braking hard at a corner my tail light fuse blew. i replaced it and ever since then it blows out within 2min of driving.
lights are not blown. Any help as to what it could be?

Chances are you inner fender harness got cut from your tires. Check that.

the harness is wrapped in the plastic. hasnet touched the tire at all.
check the radio and made sure no loose wires.
re did the ground.
im fucking clueless.
the cluster and tail lights will stay on as long as i dont drive. as soon as i start the car and start driving the fuse blows

For the sake of your car, don't do that. Fuses are rated to a specific amperage for a reason. Putting larger fuses in will just burn up the wiring harness instead.
