The 15 amp h/l fuse (on-off) continues to blow. I have not had any electrical problems in the past. I do all required maintence and drive the car daily. Any ideas why?

Hi GEORGE,

There is a shorting somewhere.

What does h/l mean?

Hi GEORGE,

np.

You need to check the circuit of this fuse.

Check for faulty bulb sockets and wires that have crossed paths and grounded.

Did you do any repair jobs prior to this happening? Could have caused the problem due to damaged wires.
