Reverse lights work, taillight fuse 15 amp, kept blowing. Now it seems fine, even after I turned it on and off a few times, and replaced a few fuses, but before it kept blowing right away when any power was fed to it through the fuse.

Only thing I did was tape one 30a jcase fuse that was broken in one of the fuse box, since I couldn't find one late on a Sunday.

Hey WALLY AB,

For a fuse to blow there needs to be excess current draw on that circuit.

Generally caused by a short in a wire/component.

Can you please describe which fuses you have replaced.

Have you replaced a fuse with a higher rating than the original?

Regards, Joe
