HELP!! Interior Illumination fuse keeps blowing
All of a sudden the interior illumination fuse in my car keeps blowing. If i put in a high amp fuse, then the tail light fuse in the hood blows. I don't get it. To make it work....i have a 25 amp fuse for the tail lamp (instead of 15) and a 15 amp fuse for interior illumination (insteadof 7.5). When i first did this....i heard something sizzle, but then it was fine. Any ideas????

dude are you running anything off of your interior lights if so that could be it but you need to take that high amp fuse out you probly fried some wires thats why the amperage is so low so you dont do what i think you may have done its 7.5 for a reason you need to check and look for short before you set something on fire

"i heard somethnig fizzle and then it was fine..." that.... that's scary.... hehe
well i had a custom setup thing going inside... it wasn't very well wired up at first... my fuse kept blowing instantly because i had 2 wires touching... if the fuse is blowing RIGHT away, then 2 wires are corssed...
If the fuse blows when you turn on multiple devices, then you have tooo much wired up to the same source....

1 either too much current draw
2 grounded power wire
3 bad power connection
I Would personally go with 2
if you have a multimeter put it on the setting for continuity,remove the fuse place one end in the fuse slot (The one without power) and the other on the chassis of the car, if there is a wire touching ground then it will beep telling you that you have an exposed wire touching ground.
After testing the first time rustle the wiring behind the fuse box and try again, to ensure it isnt movemetn causing the wire to ground.
