    Default keeps blowing fuses

    my dashlights, tail lights, and parking lights wont work because i keep blowing fuses. ive pulled out all the bulbs and checked them and looked everywhere for a fucked wire. could a relay be the problem? if so which relay and where would it be located?

    this is the 3rd 1 in less than 12 hours. check your wiring for to the lights. there is something fucked up in there someplace.

    hids have been on for 8 months with no problems. only things ive done recently are the universal o2 sensor, and the slim fan which i spliced with the original fan connector.

    Make sure you're using the right fuses, and like others have said...look at every single wire. Ensure that all grounds are grounded. If you can, get some sort of continuity tester and see if you can locate any shorts. I don't really see the problem being a relay.

    I've always hated wiring problems, but I've dealt with quite a few.

    Good luck, bud.
