MY FUSE WENT OUT THAT CONTROLS MY TAIL LIGHTS / DASH LIGHTS AND HORN. I REPLACED THE FUSE BUT NOW IT KEEPS BLOWING OUT. I DON'T KNOW IF THERE IS TOO MUCH POWER IN THE MAIN FUSE ( WHEREVER THAT IS ) OR IF THE WIRES ARE TOUCHING IN BACK. PLEASE HELP ME FIGURE IT OUT SO I CAN FIX THIS PROBLAM ASAP. AS OF RIGHT NOW, I CAN'T DRIVE AT NIGHT, OR WHEN THE WEATHER IS BAD. PLEASE HELP
MARIE

The 1st time it was replaced, it lasted about 3 - 4 weeks. Then it blew out again. Now it goes out right away

Its a fuse that controls the tail lights / horn and the dash lights. My headlights work fine and so do the interior. So, I can't drive at night b/c I can't see how fast or slow I am going and I have no tail lights. There's 1 fuse that controls those 3 things that keeps going out
