OKay.. soo my car got rear ended the other week.. and i got everything fix n all. But when i got it out of the body shop... the taillights doesnt turn on and whenever i turn on the rite turn signal the fuse blows. The bulbs for the tail lights are fine and im guessing the fuses are okay too. I havnt really looked at it yet, but this is what the guy at the body shop told me. My brake lights, headlights, and left signal lights work. So what do guys think?

 

What did the guy at the body shop tell you? It's not clear in your post.

Anyway, you've got a pinched/shorted wire back there somewhere. I would think the shop that repaired the vehicle should have taken care of it.

 

They didnt know what was wrong with it. They're a body shop. Well anyways. I found out more stuff about it. My alarm no longer works and my keyless entry doesnt make the sound anymore. WHen i put in new fuses for the turn signal it would blow when i turn ont he right signal.. but the left works fine. The tail light fuses blow within entry. You guys think its because i took out the license plates lights? Because when i got to the doods shop, i took it out, and i havnt put it back in yet. It worked prior to that when i was driving my car there. But i'll check for pinched wires back there.

 

Your having a short circurt somewhere. Check under your dash and see if any power wire is touching and ground. That will be the first place ill check.

 

Fastest ways would be get a wiring diagram and start following it back you are bound to find it. get a volt meter and a jumper wire and bypass a section of wire and see if it works( jump the fuse too that way they dont keep popping) that should help you narrow it down

Wiring diagram, yes.

Jump the fuses... BIG NO! You don't want to melt the wire harness.

 

yeah... there was a pinched squeezed wire back there. Got everything to work agian except for the tail lights. The fuse for the tail lights arent gettin any power for some reason. And my sidemarker lights doesnt turn on when the headlights arent on either.
