iv also recheck my wires to make sure there were no cuts

also i hook the brown plug in #2 on the fuse box

so what is maken me blow the fuse every time i push the button???
iv been workn opn themfor the last 2 day and im getn PO

 

Could be a short to ground... check wiring or call the company for instructions.... by all means dont replace with a higher amp fuse to solve the problem, it will burn your wires

Your installation, Go threw all your wiring, and make sure everything is hooked up properly and not grounding out. Also try disconnecting the ground on the switch side and turning them on.

 

the fuse that came with it was a 15 and that pops and so i try a 25 and that poped as well

 

Do not do that you will melt your wiring! Just disconnect the ground from the inside of the car coming from the switch.

 

I may be mistaken but I think its the#5 slot in the fuse box.

POSSIBLY THE WORST THING YOU COULD DO! ^^^
try and open up your lamps and check to see if your wires on the inside is shorting you out or not. There should be a rubber cover on the connectors inside the lamps and if the are not covering the connector/wires, the wire can short to ground, causing you to blow a fuse. PLEASE DON'T PUT IN A HIGHER FUSE. that woud totally defeat the purpose of having a 15 amp fuse to protect your circuit. I was blowing 15 amp fuse left and right until i found my short in my lamps/foglights. check your... hope this helps.

 

so first off disconnect the ground from inside the car that goes to the switch(that means as of now i got the ground on the steering bracket bolt) take it off right??

and the 2nd take the plug out of #2 and put it in #5 right???
because im about to do it now

 

Didnt i already say all this???

 

camo3
i did wat u told me....still blown fuses.....
for some reason i got 2 ground wires....how many do i need???
1st ground comes from the switch..&lt; bolted to the bolt steering bracket
2nd ground is close fog light clip??

 

thats funny cuz i got the same prob and its not cool. If i find something before u i will let you know something.

 

and ill do the same
i was wat da f... do i got 2 grounds.....

ej girl do u got instructions???

 

i believe ur the guy that bought mines at plano?one goes near ur driver side fog clip and the one that goes inside i just bolted it to the side of the fuses ill take a pic of where i installed my things tomorrow

 

just gound the one near the fog lights to a bolt and your golden

 

and of course the one inside

 

i've had this same exact problem too on my ej1 when i put some ebay brand foglights on and the fuse just kept popping. I am pretty dam sure if you do what i tell u to do, it will stop popping fuses. Ok, my problem was actually a grounding out problem, the back housing of the actual fog light would touch the frame and that would cause it to ground out and pop the fuse somehow so what I did was to cover the entire back housing of the foglight with electrical tape and I also put electrical tape on the chassis where the foglight would touch. Try this out n see, this fixed my problem permanently.

 

ight...thats wat mine dose soo elertical tape is da nex trick

 

ive had my depo fog lights for bout 4 months now and the left side fog lamp just turned off. right side works fine but i dont now how the left one suddenly went out. i checked the connections everything looks good. possibly burnt out?
