Hello Everyone,
I have recently installed fog lights on my 65 mustang non-GT coupe. I've been having trouble with the fog lights blinking after a few minutes of them being on and the engine running. When they blink, there is a very clear "click" from the circuit breaker which makes me think there is a short somewhere but I'm driving myself insane trying to find it.
I am using the Alloy Metal Products wiring harness, switch, and circuit breaker kit. I've wired the "Bat" terminal on the circuit breaker to the black with orange stripe larger gauge wire that supplies the headlight switch using the supplied tap. The "Aux" terminal is wired to the supplied harness which connects to the switch, and then to the lights. The circuit breaker is mounted / grounded to the wiper motor under the dash. I understand this is the factory location. The switch is mounted to the factory Auxiliary switch hole under the dash near the parking brake.
My initial thoughts are that there is a short somewhere, or the circuit breaker isn't getting a good ground. I moved the circuit breaker to another screw in the dash in case the ground was bad, but alas, it started blinking again. I can't seem to find any wires that are getting hot anywhere near the tap i used, or the circuit breaker itself. I pulled the gauge cluster again and there are no scorched wires either. I have run the fog lights with the headlights on, and it seems like they don't blink as much or at all when I'm running both. I haven't run them much this way, just a couple minutes.
I closely followed this video for the install.

Does anyone have any insight into what may be my problem?
Much thanks and Merry Christmas.
