Thanks! I'll attempt to do this in the next day or so. Basically, I just pull each bulb and see if the fuse blows, correct?

 

Well, if the wire before some bulb is shorted (bare wire touching metal) then it'll blow even when all bulbs are removed.

Better to unplug parts of the circult and measure resistance to ground. When you find one branch that has nearly zero resistance to ground, then you've narrowed down your search to that branch. It can become a very tedious PITA if the short it hidden somewhere.

 

hey guys - how bout an update?
seems like a common problem, cause I'm seeing it several times. temper-mental issues, but we wanna hear how they're fixed by different peeps.
Update would help dalejamin. Thanks

 

No problem. I couldn't figure it out, so I took it to my Grandfather's mechanic. He couldn't figure it out either, so he removed the fuse and replaced it with a in-line circuit breaker. Definitely not the best or recommended solution since it treates the symptom and not the underlying cause, but I've not had any problems with the lights going out since. I've kept an eye on it, though.

 

Where haven't you posted? Anyway I think you have several ideas and suggestions. Please update all of the threads with the answer so it will help others.

Thanks.
