hey i was wondering if anyone else has had the same problem, i drive a '86 TM Magna and i can use the Parkers and high beams but everytime i turn on headlights the fuse in the tail light slot blows and i also have no dash lights so i cant drive at nite because i cant see the speedo or anything . please help :confused:

hrm.. maybe youv cut the wire to the headlight somewhere at some stage and its shorting out or touching metal-negative and blowing the fuse..

i had a small bump to my front end that pushed my bumper back a tiny bit, but that little movement crushed one of my wires to the indicators and that screwed up the indicators till i figured out the wire was cut.

hope that helps at all

Remember when my car was blowing up fuses? this is exactly what it did! My car had a very dodgy wiring loom for the tail-lights. Pull out the trim and have a look, mine had been piggybacked to put a trailer plug on and there were so many live ends it wasnt funny.

Another thing to check is if your radio is still earthed. Mine wasnt and that meant that everytime i put the headlights on the radio would turn off. So maybe this hjas something to do with it.

i had a similar problem when i installed my aftermarket HU and swapped to the digital dash. i found it to be a bad connection on the illumination wire (i was upside down under the dash and my bro passed me some tape with aluminium reinforcement in it, needless to say it was shorting quite bad). it was blowing my headlight, taillight and radio/dash fuses. i replaced the tape with some heatshrink and was all good.

umm i think ive fixed the Headlight side of things i foolishly cut out the crappy aftermarket alarm system and didnt realise it was attached to the headlights, Horn etc. now that my stepdad has helped fix that my Dash lights are still blowing tailight fuses but the tail lights still work :confused: i have no idea why but what the hell its good. but still no nite driving :rant:
