My tail light works for brakes, but the fuze that is for the running light part of it keeps blowing so no tail light at nite except for brakes. the license plate light is also affected. So there must be a short and i'm not looking forward to dealing with this so i'm asking for suggestions. This is a 1700 Thunderbird and the tail is LED. It works when i put a fuse in but after a time (not sure how long but within one short ride) it blows again. My first thought is to insert a new fuse and wiggle any related wiring around while watching the light to see when it blows. Beyond that i have no idea where else to start, so any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks.
Finding a short?
