Rear park lights keep blowing fuse
first mistake you make is to increase the fuse capacity to above that required. You have a short in the circuit and by putting such a large fuse in you run the very real risk of burning the wiring loom. Check the bulb sockets and check that the right bulbs are in the sockets. bulbs come in two styles. one has 2 contact points and is either for 2 filaments (stop and tail) or a earth wire (Plastic light units) and the other is a single contact that earths out through the metal base . If you have the wrong bulb in place the current will short directly across the contacts and the light will not come on and the fuse will blow. Fuses for tail lights will be 5 amp maximun
REAR PASSENGER SIDE RUNNING LIGHT KEEPS BLOWING FUSES... ANY IDEAS AS TO WHY?
There is most likely a short in the wire feeding power to the bulb. Start at the back of the fixture and follow the wire look close for places where the insulation is cracked or worn. Pay close attention to places where it could rub on something. If you find a bad place, tape it up and see if that fixes it. If not keep looking till you find it. When you do, you'll have to replace that segment of wire.preferably all the way to the light.
