Alright so I keep blowing my headlight fuses, I wired some raptor style led lights into the turn signal running lights and I did it wrong at first because ford decided to switch the colors for positive and negative for the wiring from my old truck's year(2001) to my new one's(2004). So after some trial and error I got all that set up right. I turned on the lights to get a pic for u guys and to see what it looked like, but my left headlight was out, so I figured I put it in wrong. I checked, and I didn't, so I figured the bulb was bad. I did the test and switched bulbs with the one that had been working, in the right headlamp, I turned on the lights and neither of them came on. So I checked the fuses and I blew two of them. I replaced the blown fuses, and now every time I switch them on I blow fuses, and the lights don't come back on. I'm usually pretty good with wiring stuff up, I was gonna do a write up for the raptor lights on the 04-08 trucks, but I've hit a roadblock. Any suggestions?
Disconnect your raptor lights completely and see if you're still blowing fuses. That'll give you an idea of where you're shorting out at. Did you go back through all those wires and make sure they're not rubbing the frame or each other?
I disconnected all the raptor lights, and it seems every time I disconnect my headlights and switch the bulbs to either side, I blow the fuses. Why is this?
a bunch of pissed off gnomes that are forced to live under your hood by the dark lord zantor and are slowly but surely tearing everything down for the revolution where they will be shot through your intake valves and attack the pistons for this is where zantor gets his power
Tape up where you spliced the factory harness for the raptor lights and see if that fixes the fuse blowing.
Okay so apparently my raptor lights weren't the problem, my left headlight bulb just decided to die, so every time I put a bad bulb in the plug, it blows a fuse... The raptor lights work fine! Anyone else ever have this problem?
