Turn Signal/Back Up Light Fuse Blowing
Well, just when I thought I was not going to have any electrical issues to deal with on this project car, it blew the turn signal/BU light fuse today. I replaced it with another 20Amp fuse and everything was good to go and working correctly again, but it blew out again before I got home.
So I got out my test light and started inspecting all the turn signal bulbs and sockets, then the back up bulbs and sockets; everything checked good, no corrosion or bad bulbs to be found and all the wiring looks good. So I put in a new fuse after looking everything over and everything is working good again; I can't make it blow now, even tried driving around in tight turns working the signals and putting it in reverse. My fingers are crossed, but I bet it rears it's ugly head again; anyone else deal with this particular gremlin in that circuit?

Well, drove it all day and it didn't blow any fuses, I may have got lucky and accidentally fixed the problem.
