S13 Stop Lamp problem

Wild Streak · 08-26-2008, 06:55 PM

I have 1992 s13 240sx recently I noticed when I was stopping at night time that my stop lamps was not lighting up when I pushed in the brake pedal, So I opened the fuse box and it had a blown fuse I replaced it with another 20 amp fuse and I pushed in the brake pedal and it blew the fuse so I looked at the wires running to the tail lights and none appeared to be cut or grounding out. So then I put a 30 amp fuse in and it worked for a little while but when it did work when I pressed the brake pedal in my dash lights and guage lights would dim like it was drawing a lot of current, then when it melted that fuse I check the button for the brake pedal and replaced it and it still does it can anyone help me with my problem any suggestions would help my parking lights work tho I do have an sr20det redtop if that matters, but it just started I have had it for a while and it just started doing this.

Re-do all of the ground wires. Your lights will be brighter than before if you run individual grounds instead of the failure prone daisy chain of grounds.
