Brake Lights

[jewbacca]

Hey guys, I'm new to the scene, and I already have a question for the experts...
Just bought a '92 lude and just found out i bought it with no working brake lights! Reverse, signal and parking lights work fine, checked all bulbs back there. I keep blowing fuses every time i start. I took it to my local dealership, and man, they didnt know what the problem was. They said they were going to charge me some cash to do a wire trace. Big $$$ from a dealership. Anyone have any ideas I can try, or a good place to take it for repair other than an expensive dealership in Calgary Alberta?

Every time you start the car, the fuse blows??

Yea, its bizzarre. Alot of after market stuff has been put in too, making it more complicated (security, starter, cd player)
I guess you know its bad when the dealership cant help you out eh

THe first to do is check what else is on that same fuse..

Then follow all the wires and see if there are any shorts.

your horn should be on the same circuit... if you push the horn and nothing then the tails are out, maybe check the grounds on the taillight bulbs and the relay
