My 99 civic keeps blowing the fuse for my taillights, I had a 7.5 in there blew that out, put a 10 in and blew that out as soon as i turned the lights on, same thing happend with a 15.
any idea's?

I noticed it about a week ago, installed a headunit like a month before that but no problems when that was put in. I cant think of anything, please help!

my brake lights work fine, same with turn signals i belive, just the running lights dont

we disconnected the tail lights but it still blows a fuse

one of your wires are grounding which shouldnt be grounded , most likely it has to deal with your cd player wiring.

Just for your cars future health - DON'T put in a higher value fuse to try and fix this sort of problem. If it blew with a 7.5A, then find the short - don't throw a 10A, 15A, etc at it.

Yep, that's how you melt wiring and start fires.
