Re: Keep blowing fuse

If you disconnect the wires there you can find out if it is the front lights and the passenger taillight, or the driver taillight and license plate light. Then you can follow the same troubleshooting and make pretty quick work of it.
How far along the wire did you have to go to find the problem? You are right that the fuse is linked to the plate lights. DO you remember the wire colors?

EDIT: I wonder if a bad alternator can cause fuses to blow? I've never heard of it, but just wanted to cover all my bases. Also, I'm replacing the battery today b/c it's 6 yrs old and for the first time ever my started after 3 cranks. It felt a little weak. Usually it starts on the first crank.
