Help!:)


Hi,
Ok,
I have a '79 F150 that is popping the brake light fuse and the radio fuse at the same time!
The radio is the factory harness so it isn't a hack job hangin over the brake pedal,ect.
I took the fuse block screws out and flipped it over,and (brakes,radio are beside eachother)and all looks well inside.Nothing touching till they get into the main harness of wires.
I usaully figure these things out but not this time!
Anybody got any ideas?If so thanks

Blue, the only thing that comes to mind, is maybe a corroded tail light bulb socket. Electrical Gremlins are strange animals, and you obviously have a dead short somewhere to blow both fuses.

With the key off, check the radio side of the fuse with an ohmmeter to a ground. If you show an open, then short is in tail light circuit. If you show a complete circuit, then it's in the radio side. Hope this helps. Don
