Ok, so I got some clear corners & did the Rewire where the parking lights stay bright all the time. I did the exact one that was on Craig B's site. http://www.geocities.com/craigbrace/
I did everything right, it was done perfectly.
I also put in some stock wattage gay ricer APC blue 1157 bulbs, if it makes a difference. So the lights worked great for about a week, and looked good. Then when I was driving at dusk with the parking lights on for about 30 min. a week later, and out of nowhere, my interior lights are off, as well as the tails & corners. The fuse blew. So I go "what the hell" that shouldn't happen. I decide to get some new fuses. They were the correct one's, the fuse is a red (10A). I popped it in, and the lights all worked again..........................................For 50 seconds! Then Boom, blown fuse once again. I don't know why they are blowing right away, especially since the original fuse lasted a week. It doesn't make sense for it to blow in 1/2 a min. Anyone know what could be wrong, or how to fix it. Alot of people have this rewire done, and this doesn't happen? Any help would be appreciated, I'm not big with electrical stuff.


Thanks.

 

wierd, you sure no exposed wires is touching the car's frame? i did this rewire on my 3rd gen about 3 years ago and it still works fine.

 

I didnt read your post...sorry BUT the reason it keeps blowing is because you are pushing more current than you are supposed to...yes others have had this problem and I have seen it posted a few times. Craig's solution to this (his was blowing as well I believe) was put a bigger fuse in. Normally I wouldnt recommend this but he has had no problems I can think of so you should be fine as long as you dont go crazy with the size and he knows the electronics of this car way better than I so I am not one to question him on this.

Before you put a bigger fuse in make sure your connections are not shorting. If your connections are OK with no shorts then go up to a 15amp fuse and you should be fine.

 

I had to put a higher amp rating fuse in....
