sounds like something is touching ground if the fuse is blowing as soon as the switch is flipped on. its the parking lights if your blinkers and brakes still work

that's also a possiblity. try the stuff i told you walt, and if you still have a problem, try looking over the fog lights and their wiring

Have you done anything with your stereo lately?? Thats the problem I was having with my truck and came to find out it was the dimmer wire for the radio making unnecessary contact and blowing the park lights fuse. Just a thought.

ok guys... here is what i found after about an hour of tracing wires every where and tearing my head lights out and about 27 fuses latter...... the terminal for my left rear brake light has some kind of short from the connector to the housing of the bulb causing it to get less power the the other brake lights.. and making my fuse blow.. i checked and checked and triple check and when i took it apart and put another fuse in and turn on my lights.... what do you know.. my lights work again ... so i'm gonna have to find another one.. or a set and just swap them out.. know of anyplaces where i could get them?? i'm new in Lawrencville so i don't know of any J yards yet thanks again for the advice guys.. this is what the Org is for
