blinkers and clearence lights\/////???

I just revired my blinkers and clearence lights. Loved how it look I wish everyone did that. But my enjoyment was only 2 sec where all my lights went out. My blinkers and clearence dont work. I am deffenly know that the fuse went out. Which one????? took me 30 min no luck locating a fuse. Also if I locate the fuse should I put a different one so it will not blow on me.???? help............

The same thing happened to me. It's the Taillight fuse located in the box under the steering wheel (and to the left a little). I replaced mine with a 10 amp fuse rather than the 7.5 amp. I would recommend trying the 7.5 amp fuse again before going up in amperage. I have a few other accessories running from that fuse, and that's the reason I'm running a 10 amp fuse. Hope this helps.

Check if there is any short circuit. I have been running
for over 1 1/2 with the same fuse after all the rewire lights,
with no troble at all.

yup, same happened to me
Actually, not all lights went out, but the tailights and front clearence lights did. I went up to a 10 fuse, no problems or anything, yet? i dont know whether it is a big deal to go up on the fuse or not.. but i did it anyways.

See that would throw me off how they labeled the blinkes on the same as TAILIGHTS. Go with a bigger than stock fuse though. It cant hurt any and will prevent future blowouts.

I change the fuse to the same 7.5, someone told me if it will blow again go higher. I will go with the same but if anything 10 will be my next try. Have to wait till it get dark to test out my rewired lights. Cant wait..........

You guys were right i had to use #10 fuse. Unforunately
my turn signals are not working in the front of the car
Its stays always on. Could that be that i switched wires
inside the socket to make the light brighter??
