blew a 30amp FUSE today on my OEM fogllights...

My OEM fogs are wired up not using the stock switch and harness..

Power wire (14gauge) from fogs are wired together and then to one side of a switch.
The other wire to the switch runs to the battery with a 30amp inline fuse.
Grounds from fogs are grounded to the chasis.

Today, randomly while driving the fogs turned off and when i came home, the fuse was blown.. any ideas?? i am going to check and recheck connections tomorrow, but what else could it be that would blow the fuse? i don't think any connections are bad.. but that's the only solution i can think of.

ps. where's my sig

You have a short or bad ground... the stock fuse rating s/b 15A! Recheck you connections and look for cut wires...

The sigs have been disabled by Jambo
