Re: Why do I keep blowing this fuse??? (eraser)
i'm not sure what fuse it is cuz i'm too lazy to check rite now, but if its for ur horn and brake lights, well maybe you have a short somewhere, did you get into a collision at all or something that might have messed with the wiring of the horn in the front bumper area? or have you messed with any lighting accessories that would have been near the brake light wiring?? give us more info so we can be of more help.

Im not sure what a gaydar fuse is....please explain.........
pdcdragon, I have not had a collision or messed with anything around that area. I did install HID's a long time ago but I dont think that has anything to do with it.
Thanks

If you have a stereo wire shorting, i have seen it blow the light fuses before on a friends car. Check all grounds on any wire modifications you have done.

I had the same problem when i installed the type-r wing with the LED in the back. I you installed a wing with LED, check the wire's on that, something is touching.

Re: Why do I keep blowing this fuse??? (intekragsr)
Sounds interesting.. Let's see.. Your Horn and Brake Lights don't work and they seem to be sharing the same fuse??
Well I can tell you this.. You sure as hell don't have a short anywhere.. Because the real defintion of a short is is a Hot to Hot Short.. For example: I honk the Horn and my Front Passanger Window goes down.. Get it??..
I think what you have is a Grounded Circuit, or otherwise known as a Hot to Ground Short.. Meaning that by putting that fuse in and pressing the Horn or the Brake Pedal, you're sending current through the fuse and straight to ground. And the reason it burns out the fuse is because there isn't a load controlling the flow of current.. Makes sense??
So what I'd do is go to the easiest load to test.. If it were my car, I'd go to the Horns and cut the wires. After that, I'd put in the fuse and see if it burns out when I step on the brakes. And vice versa..
It's just a simple tactic called elimination.. So what if you cut a couple wires, they can always be fixed..
Good Luck.. I'll check back later if I've got time..
