The light switch is at fault or else you have a wiring issue..Check all fuses because some vehicles have Seperate fuses for certain seperate lights?..The light switch Is designed to work both running lights and headlights...Turn the switch halfway on and the running lights come on ...Then turn it all the way on and all lights work...If all fuses are good it should be a faulty light switch...

It is the ground circuit that is the problem the bulb has 2 filaments and both are sodered to the bayonet which must ground the bulb check the mount screws that hold it to the lamp assembly they are loose.

Check that there is no air or air leaks in the fuel system. check that the fuel filter is clean. Check for correct bfuel cap on tank. Check that the accelerator pedal is not being prevented to going to the floor by a badly positioned floor mat. If you have a cable from the pedal to the fuel pump make sure that you are getting full throttle by having a frien push the pedal to the floor and checking if you can still move the pump lever further open. If you have and can adjust the cable length to take uo this slack

Here's a link on how to fix,be sure to read on what your suppose to do before you start.

First make sure the fuse size it correct. there may be a small ampere fuse when it should be larger
Then test your compressor. you could unhook the wires from the compressor (mark where they go and put some black tape on them so you won't short anything out) and then turn it on again and see if the fuse blows again. if it does not blow then it means that the compressor is bad.
if it does blow you may have a ground on the wires somewhere.

hope this helps

In the main connector to the battery positive are the fusable liks for the headlights and the altenastor you can find a bad one by pulling on them as if they come apart easily their bad. This is for the big wire on the back of the altenator. Theirs two wires in the plug one is hot all the tyime and the other is hot with the key on( this wire comes from the battery light) The gauges fuse powers them and if the temp gauge and the fuel gfauge work the fuse is likly good. If the altenator is
nt chatrging and all the wires at the altentaor are hot with the engine running ( not just the key on) then the altenator needs to be renuilt or replaced. Sometimes you can get it apart yourself and put brushes in it but most of the time this takes pratice and experience to do this correctly and the proper testing techniquies to get it right as the store sell rebuilt units for exchange. Always disconnect the battery to work on the altenatore wireing and when your problem is corrected right the battery fully charged up as the altenator is'nt a battery charger and can overheat and fail if it;s treated like one.

Did you replace the pilot bearing? It is the bearing that is in the flywheel, and holds the transmission shaft, and if it is not replaced then you will get the gear-box noise. I would recommend that you change out the gear oil as well.

check wireing to injectors may worn and blowing fuse
