Hello all,
I've spent the better part of the day trying to install my new Maund Lucas tail light. The LP marker lights are working properly (finally). The brake light is working, but the tail light will not come on. Here is what I have:
The tail light has a black and red wire. Red wire of the tail light goes to the red wire of the harness and the black wire to the blue wire of the NB harness. I attached the ground of the harness to the battery while testing. I keep blowing the 5 amp fuses for the tail light and instrument lights. For ****s and giggles I replaced both 5 amp fuses with 10 and the instrument cluster fuse still blew. Even if that had worked I couldn't leave them in there. I'm thinking a bad ground,but I'll be damned if I can figure out where. Shouldn't wiring it to the battery be the best ground you can have, or is that a no, no for lights?
I'm at a loss. Can anyone help?

- Maund Lucas tail light
- Lockhart Philips Marker lights (extra wire for running lights, I'm not connecting it and it's been sealed off)
- NB rear tail/signal light harness
