My tail lights burnt out on me a bit ago then I replaced the bulbs and the fuse and it worked for a while.
Now it has happened again and when I replace the 15A fuse it pops the second I turn on the lights. Has anybody else had this problem or any ideas on what it could be? I hope it could be an easy fix as a weird electrical problem could be expensive and I'd probably have to go to a dealer because I don't know this area (at college). |

Did all the lights burn out or just one? If it's was all then it's probably a short in the wiring. If it's just one I'm guessing corrosion inside the bulb socket. |

Both tail lights, it probably is a short -- but how would you find it? |
