The only thing i have added was an edge box, but nothing on that circuit. I still have the factory seven way trailer plug ! Oh and a cd player !

Here's what I like to do for stuff like this:
Get a circuit breaker from NAPA that matches the amps for the fuse. Pull your fuse and using some pigtails install the circuit breaker in its place. Now when the short happens the breaker will pop momentarily but come back. Monitor this and see if you can find some sort of a pattern. I've gone so far as to make a pigtail long enough that a passenger could hold the breaker so they could feel when it popped. This lets you concentrate on establishing a pattern. How many fuses involved total? It looks like 1 for everything? Give me a minute to look at the schematics and see what I can figure out. |
Wow, thats alot ..lol.. Thank you though. Yeah its just 1 15 amp fuse. As soon as you turn the lights on, "pop " . It is in the fuse box under the hood ! I think i shall start traceing wire's tonight. I will let you guys know what i come up with ..Thanks a bunch !

It's a stupid question I know, but from experiance I have to ask anyway. Are you sure you have the right size fuse in there and it doesn't call for a 20 or somethin.
|
LOL, Yeah, i even put a 20 in it and it popped it rite away also !
