Hope someone might be able to figure this one out. My dash lights weren't working so I checked the fuse (it's good) took the dimmer switch off (seems good) then I noticed my 15amp fuse for the taillights was blown. I guess the dash lights won't work unless the taillights work. I put another one in and it blew too (when I turned the lights on) I thought it could be the trailer wiring (seemed good). Checked all the wiring and bulbs in the back..they are good. I disconnected them and I am still getting voltage across the fuse slot. The only thing I can think of is that it happened after I put a new microphone in my aftermarket radio. I checked it and I found the dimmer wire was grounding to the radio...so I thought YES!!! That's it!!! One would think....
but it still is shorting out!!! It's a green wire with grey spots that runs through that fuse for the tailights but it's also the same wire that runs all over the car for dimming purposes as well. Finding the short seems impossible!!! You would think the fuse would blow when the dimmer wire grounded out on the stereo and that would be the end of it...just replace the fuse. But I can't think of anything else to do....HELP PLEASE
I am stuck in Colorado with this at the moment. Luckily at a friend's house trying to figure it out.
Thank you!!
