So I guess I have a short in my taillight/sidemarker wiring becuase my night time lights and sidemarkers wont turn on. The number four fuse blew and when I replaced it and turned them on it blew again. This means the wires have a short right? I heard its the brown wires attached to the headlight switch that control the taillights and sidemarkers, if this is all true, how do I find the short, is it hard to do, and has anybody had this problem before?

The answer lies in the Chilton's shop manual located in the auto parts store near you...

Trying to troubleshoot wiring ploblems without a shop manual is extremely difficult. I sugggest that you buy a shop manual or arrange to borrow one from your local library.

here's a link that will help some: http://www.autozone.com/servlet/UiB..._us/0900823d/80/19/59/5a/0900823d8019595a.jsp
