I recently bought an '86 Graduate, with low miles, and begin to repair/replace all the bulbs. At that time, the lights
connected by # 9 fuse worked fine. This circuit has the RF parking light, engine bay light, RF side marker, & LR tail light.
However it blew the 7 amp fuse, and I thought it was a direct short. I have been unable to identify the short. The RF turn signal & rear work fine, and I took the entire RF assembly out, bench treated it, put it back & checked on the car & all there works fine. Multimeter shows 7 amps current, blowing the 7 amp fuse. So, do I install the 16 amp fuse now, or keep checking each area where there could be a short? I found that several of the blade connectors had corrosion, so cleaned them with contact cleaner & a nail file. Help! ChiefBre.
