On our Ford Escort, the tail light fuse has recently started blowing. When we replace it, the tail lights and all of the electrical associated with that fuse stay on, even when the switch is turned off, until it blows again. I checked the tail lights for corrosion to discover that was not the problem. Does anyone know where the short might be and how to discover it? Any advice is much appreciated.

IF YOU GO TO "SEARCH" AT THE TOP OF THE PAGE, INSTALL "CARADIODOC", BRAKE LIGHT BULB, SPADE, SHORT, YOU ARE SURE TO FIND OTHER POSTS HE HAS ANSWERED WITH MAYBE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS SUPER TECHNIQUE HE USES.
