I just got this 86GT. 62K real miles on it. But, there is a little brown wire with white stripe that causing some issues. Found out the hard way the tails weren'nt working. Got it home, ready to fix, the fuse is blown. Put in another 10 fuse. Pops. Well, just for the hell of it, tried 15, 20, and 30. 15 and 20 popped. 30 works, but that little wire heats up and smokes. Not good. What is that wire for? I got a diagram off of alldata, which of course has no wire that color listed, but the closest I can guess is the dimmer. Got a new switch, still smokes it. Does anyone know what that wire runs?

Nobody, anybody, Bueller?

Also, changed the multi-function (turn signal) switch and it didn't help either
