OEM fogs on 92 SE. A while back, found the blown 15A fuse. Replaced it, and put in some new bulbs, cleaned up contacts at the lights, etc. for good measure. Ran the lights for an evening. Flipped them on and off a few times. Everything fine. Day or two later, go to flip them on, the fuse blows again. Replaced. Flip on, fuse blows again. Lather, rinse, repeat....

 

Where should I start looking for problems? Switch? Ground at bulbs? Relay?

 

Thanks for any suggestions.

Follow the wires until you find the cut, worn throught area, or pinch.

 

A 15 amp fuse will not blow unless the circuit is drawing well over 200 watts. And if you are running (2) 55 watt bulbs (you are, aren't you?) then the only way the circuit will draw 200+ watts is if there is a short to ground somewhere.
