Fuse under the hood called TAIL 10AMP

Mines blown like 20 times, I finally said F-it and put in a 15 amp.

It controls the interior lights, front marker lights, and tail lights.

Yeah, if it was only something that simple. The 10 amp fuse is the first thing that I checked. I then pulled all fuses and checked individually. Every time I put a new 10 amp fuse in the slot, it would blow. I had to track down the source of the problem and finally did. BTW I do not suggest putting a 15 amp fuse in a 10 amp slot. Each fuse is designed to fail and protect the electrical system it serves. By you putting a 15 amp fuse in that slot, you are over riding its failure capacity by 5 amps and could potentially cause failure to the electrics itself, maybe in cause a fire.

I could probably go bad to a 10 and be fine now that I have LED tail lights anyway. I've searched all over the place, I really have no idea why it kept blowing.

In fact, it always blew out while going over a speed bump or something bumpy.

It's been 2 years with the same fuse so I'm over it. It's workin
