i noticed that my fog, gauge, and brake lights werent working so i found the fuse thats blown, i kept putting fuses in but they kept blowing. so my buddy that knows alot bout wiring stuck a wire in place for the fuse and turn the lights on and smoke started coming out the air vents. it smelt like a plastic burning. can anyone help me pls??

shit I had the same problem somehow I managed to fix it... chirped from 1st to 2nd one day and it blew again... IDK how but I fixed it by realizing that the radio fuse was blown (but radio was still working WTF!!!??! I know)
replaced the radio fuse and the cluster/ taillight fuse and havent had a problem... but now I stopped chirping and stepping n it for the past month since I'm afraid it blows again... IDK if I definately fixed the problem or it has been good because I haven't chirped... so idk

thats the thing, its the cluster tailight fuse, ive done put 6 fuses in but they all blew. i checked all grounds in the front and near the taillights but i dont see anything wrong or touching

well the previous owner wired them into my corner lights. but i fixed the prob, it was a radio wire touching metal.
