you have a short somewhere. have fun trying to find it. did you do anything to the car recently?

you could always get a circuit breaker fuse, but i wouldnt reccomend it.

theres a break in the wire somewhere and its grounding itself. just have to look over every wire. you probably melted one.

sounds like you might have melted your headlight sockets. if they are melted check with walmart before ordering them from the dealer. it will take forever to get them from the dealer and they only cost like 4.00 at walmart opposed to 10.00 from the dealer
