i am having an electrical problem...before i went away my hazard fuse went bad...i changed the fuse and went away for a week...when i came back my battery was dead so i recharged it and had no problem...left the car untouched again for 4 days and today when i went to start the car the battery was really low and my hazard fuse is bad again...any ideas on what is wrong?

oh yeah the harzard fuse controls my direction lights if you dont know

Do you have an alarm?

Did you do some ghetto fab rewiring to get your hazards to work the directionals??

I think there is a little too much current flowing to that fuse and it is going pop.

AHH sorry. I misread what you wrote. How long have you had your alarm???

i think i figured out what the problem might be...i got the bigmouth kit on so i have no turn signals or anything and the shop that did my work just cut out the bulbs and left the harness there hanging...i think every now and then the wires touch and cause the fuse to blow...this sound right?

Sounds like a winner to me. When that current goes through the line without seeing that resistance of the bulb it will pop it everytime!! Good find!

i checked today and the guy that did the bumper did a chop up job on the lights...he took out my corners and spliced the wires for my turn signals in my corners but then he just cut everything else and left it there...my question is what can i do with the wires that i cant use now due to my different front and i am installing a the jdm fenders in so i am going to have to splice the wires for the side markers into some where also, where do i splice them into?

MR.CLIFFORD · 11-12-2002, 11:24 PM

if you wire the blinkers to the corners so they blink and the corners always stay on when they lights come on couldn't you use the corner light wires to power the JDM side markers??
