Default Re: Fuse blowing

There are several possible sources of shorts. The junction box as Tom said but also the sockets for the headlights. Methodically go through the wiring to find the short. Disconnect everything and remove the light switch. Use your ohm meter to check for shorts to ground on all the wiring until you find the short. Then investigate what is causing the short in that circuit.

If it is a socket in the headlights you can extend the wiring into the insides of the buckets and make a connection there using individual pin and socket connections for each wire. Or fix the short in the original socket.
