Ok so i got pulled over the other day by a cop and he tells me i have a light out no problem then he says that i have no lights. We step out the car and take a look.... no running lights... So i checked the fuse awww fuse is blown put in a new fuse still nothing... Brake lights work fine, signals work fine, reverse lights work fine But no running lights. I checked the relay and its good also. . Ne help would be appreciated thanks I am also posting a video too. Thnks.

Did you test the bulbs? Inspect them?

Take a test light and put it to the fuse to see if there is potential there. I'd say you had something hooked up somehow that caused the circuit to blow the fuse. If you had a higher rated fuse than what the circuit called for because you were possibly blowing fuses before then a wire is probably fried. Another possibilty is the actual headlight switch went bad.

I have two headlight switches if you need one (non-fog). Just an FYI. See the sig in my thread.

Theres a balck box for your daytime running lights, right by your windshield washer reservoir, that could be bad.

does the fuse blow again when you put a new one in? Does the fuse blow when you turn the lights on?
