If you keep changing the fuse because tail lights keep going out is it because of a short somewhere or what?
1 Yes. Try cartalk.com. And did you ever answer a question for a friend without asking for more detail?
2 When that happened to my granddaughter's Galant, one of the wires was pinched in the trunk and was causing the problem. This was found by somebody at a tire and oil change place after Mitsubishi replaced many fuses. May you get so lucky, too.
3 An intermittent short is the first thing I would suspect. And they can be hard to find. Start looking around the tail light connections for a loose wire or connector.
Then trace wires up towards the fuse box. Somewhere the two wires connect and that could be a vulnerable place. Also some vehicles have a trailer light hookup connected to those wires that you should check.
"It's a short" is used about 90% of the time to describe something else, but in this case it's applicable. First chck to see that the tail light bulbs are the correct ones for the car-- maybe someone put in some higher-powered bulbs and that's overloading things. The right number will be listed in the car's glove-box manual.
THe number is usually rubber-stamped on the metal shell of the bulb. Then check the wires-- most common problem is the spare tire or jack has pinched one of the wires, or if the lights are in the hatch, the wires have been pinched in the hatch closure or pinched within the rubber tube form the hatch to the car body. Also if you have a trailer-hitch with a light connector, those often short out at the connector end or along the outside wires or where they're patched into the main wiring.
Or some have a control box which can go bad. Just trace the wires from the bulbs back as far as you can until the wires disappear below the back seat.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
