Try replacing the bulbs, but if you've done that already, your turn signal switch may be bad.

SOURCE: 2003 dodge durango #4 fuse keeps blowing,

OK there is a short in your car
take all the light bulbs out of the light that trigger the problem this break the current place one bulb in at a time checking that the fuse has not blown this will pin point where the problem is
once you find the problem you can replace the socket as it may have started to corrode check for water
once you replace the socket you should not have a problem
if you do let me know

SOURCE: 95 chevy astro van no brake lights

Check the stop light switch on the top of the brake pedal arm inside the vehicle. It may be stuck but can be checked very easily. Push the button in and out... should go smoothly and turn the lights on when depressed. Cheap to fix if that's it...

SOURCE: Blows fuses when parking lights are turned on. Headlights work fine even running lights.

If it only happens when you turn the switchto the parking lights then it is most likely the swich that is the problem. Light swich failure appears to be a common fault with fords

SOURCE: 95 G20 Chevy van: ABS light stays on, pulls right when braking

You actually have two separate problems. The brake pull to the right is indicating the left side brake is not working properly. You will want to remove the left front wheel, collapse the caliper piston and make sure the caliper is floating freely on its mounts.
With the piston collapsed you should be able to slide the caliper inboard and outboard of the rotor. If not, you will want to remove the attachment pins, clean and lubricate the pins. If they are grooved or worn you will have to replace them.
The second issue of the ABS light is indicating the system has detected an electrical sensing or control problem. Take the vehicle to your local Auto Zone or Advance Auto and ask them to scan the vehicle for trouble codes. They will scan it for you at no charge.
Chances are you will find a wheel speed sensor problem at one of the wheels.
Write the codes down and respond back, we can start diagnosing the problem,
Good luck, let me know.
Regards,

1986 Chevrolet G30 1 ton Van. I don't have any tail lights or dash lights.

Tail light bulbs can blow fuses when they fail. Remove the bulbs and test them with a meter, or with a piece of wire to the battery terminals.

Check the grounds and connectors that are near the rear lights. Check underneath for cut or broken wires.

The dash lights are more of a puzzle. A corroded or loose connector is the most likely. Older vehicles do have small capless bulbs in the dash.

I have a 1984 chevy sportvan ---i have all lights except taillights and dashlights-i putin shop they replaced 2 fuses and bulb but when i got home and turned on headlights switch dashlights went out and...

This problem sounds like there is a short, first locate the fuses and replace them if they are blown, most likely they will be.

You will need to do some checking, we know the short is in the tail light dash light area which is considered the park lights,
This may be due to a bad wire or switch, if you have a trailer hitch on this van i would start there,

Locate the connector for the trailer lights, on the rear of the van , follow the wiring and look for bad wiring or wiring rubbing through near metal area,
A good test would be to install new fuses and turn lights on as you have someone keep an eye on them to see when they go out, turn van on and lights also, see if fuse pops , if it does then locate the wiring for rear lights at rear of the van behind rear bumper area you will see a connector that connects the wiring for rear lights, remove the connector , this will stop all power to rear lights and will be a test to see if the short is in the rear tail lights, with connector removed install new fuses and turn lights on, if fuse does not blow then now we know short is in rear from that point back, check wiring and sockets very closely, make sure correct bulbs are installed.

this is where i would start, let me know the results of this test i we will go from there, good day

Tail light/dash light fuse keeps blowing

The dash lights and parking lights should be on two different fuses.
You may have a problem with the headlight switch, or something in the harness.

Tail light and dash lights do not operate. immediately blows fuse when light switch is turned on. brake lights work. tail lamp sockets appear in good shape. tail lamp wire up to light switch has power. as...

There is only one circuit. You have to trace the wire from the fuse to find the short. The wire runs to all of the parking and tail lamps as well as the instrument panel, thru the dimmer. If you find connectors along the way, disconnect them to find out if the short is beyond or behind the connector, using an ohmmeter.
