240 DL Wagon 1986 Fuse #15 keeps blowing

Post by godfather835 »

Hi, on my '86 DL, fuse #15 (controlling left side parking light, tail light, and licence plate lights) keeps blowing. I thought it was the towing wiring at first, and by removing it the problem was solved for a couple of days. Now, the problem is back, and it seems like I have checked the most likely places? Any ideas?

It is possible that you have one or more "bulbs" on that circuit that have an internal short. Replace all the bulbs on that circuit first and see if it continues.
