did you change your lights with after markets or add aaltezzas or anything?

 

find the short that is causing you to blow fuses.....

 

how am i suppose to find the short . . . i do have after market tail lights but i install it while back ago wasn't recently . . all of a sudden one day the fuse just blew n i got a short circuit . .

 

dude if you do not know how to use a volt/ohm meter, it is best that you do NOT work on your car.......you can really screw yourself over if you do not know what you are doing and fron the sounds of it, you don't

i was just asking for help man . . . yea i don't know much but i would like some tips thats all . .

 

take the VoltMeter set to the OHMS setting and see if there is a short between the +12V and ground if there is you need to find it and repair it

 

the wiring for one of the lights using that fuse has a problem such as worn away plastic. so if the wire is exposed, it could be shorting out any time it hits the frame of the car. you also could have enough condensation in one of your light housings to cause a short, although if it doesn't look too apparent, then this likely isn't your problem. if you spent any time splicing wires (you said you replaced the taillights) check the connections you made, and make sure there's no exposed wires. the most basic thing you can do right now is to look for physical signs of wear and tear on the wiring, although it won't be the easiest or most complete way since you won't be able to inspect everything.
