Electrical short in instument light circuit
I am now fully frustrated. Everything has been going so well.
Last night while driving, the instrument lights went out. I also noticed that the rt. side lights were out (except head lights) I replaced the fuse and it instantly blew. I have begun a deep search for a short but I have come up empty handed. Is it possible or common for a failure of the dimmer to result in a short ? Has anyone else encountered this ? I am really bummed out, as I cant drive the car at night now. Any help would be appreciated, Robert |

BINGO !!!
I found it ! I disconnected everything on that circuit until I came to the license plate lights. The lamp holder had pulled into the trunk deck and was contacting the metal trunk. I corrected this and everything is good. Sometimes it just helps to vent ! Now I can rest, Amen. Robert |
