I'm officially stumped...
 
I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT TO DO

so im asking you guys, as you may know im having electrical problems.

my drivers side taillight is out (just the red) and this is somehow connected to my gauges, which the red is out also.

also, my cedia lights have the parking lights out only on the drivers side.

so my drivers side is paralized.

when i replace the taillight fuse it blows out immediatly when i turb on the cars lights.

everytime. ive gone through 20 fuses.

SO, i rewired my cedias. and those are fine.

i checked the taillight connection and that seems fine.

what the hell could the problem be at this point!!! im so lost.

i figured my cedias were hooked up wrong, but that doesnt seem to be the case.

plz help me i dont want to get pulled over for this crap. :crap:

if it keeps blowing fuses then youve got a short somewhere in the system, go back and check your wiring to make sure nothing is grounding out where it shouldnt be.

akasirlancerlot Nov 19, 2005 03:34 PM

doing that now. thanks, i have my neighbor over, were checking into it.

Hear of a similiar situation lately, and the guy ended up just tying the 2 tailights in series to make both work. Very odd and hope it doesn't happen to me...

do you have system? when i installed my 3rd amp (before i got a cap) my driver side tails would always blow out too..

akasirlancerlot Nov 19, 2005 05:55 PM

no system.

well guys, i spent the whole day testing fuses, taking out all bulbs to test contin. and still something is shorting out somehwere... i dont know what to do.
where does all the wiring run? is there a relay i havent checked?

akasirlancerlot Nov 19, 2005 06:01 PM

help me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

follow each wire from each bulb...

akasirlancerlot Nov 19, 2005 07:12 PM

all the way through the friggin car.

akasirlancerlot Nov 19, 2005 07:17 PM

bump.what all is included on the fuze? i know it regulates the driver taillight, parki ng lights and gauges. ANYTHING ELSE?

rhyzin Nov 19, 2005 07:32 PM

fuse 21?

akasirlancerlot Nov 19, 2005 07:34 PM

21?

hold lemme check.

akasirlancerlot Nov 19, 2005 07:35 PM

yes that fuse.

rhyzin Nov 19, 2005 07:53 PM

all the bulbs have continuity? will the fuse blow if you take out the bulbs, put the fuse back in and turn the key to on?

if the bulbs are not there, then it should be an open circuit. if the fuse blows, there is a short in between the fuse and where the bulb is.

more fuses to destroy :shoot:

a complex wiring issue is a car modders worst nightmare, i wish you the best on finding it. Im assuming you have a volt meter to track this down, just figure out which wire imparticular you have the short on . . then try to find it :(
