Over the summer, the fuse for my dash/ tail lights kept blowing. I had it "fixed." The mechanic said that the terminals that hold the fuse in place were loose. It has worked fine until last week. It almost always blows right when I turn the switch on. What's the deal?

Also, does anyone know what a line pressure solenoid circuit does and how much they cost. (The tranny self-diagnostic indicates I need a new one.)

 

look for a short, sounds like a power wire hitting bare metal

 

it's very common for the fuse to blow because of corroded tail light sockets. Check the sockets in the trunk and the wires going to them. Replace or repair if you see any signs of corrosion.
Test each side by unplugging the harness going to each taillight and turning on the lights.

 

And if that isnt it you need to check everything connected to that fuse. I had the same thing happen to me last year and I ofund out that it was a bare wire on my license plate light.

 

thanks for the suggestions. I screwed around with the license plate lights and so far so good. you guys rock!

but can anyone help me with my tranny questions?
