Default Common bad grounds plz---- HELP

Yo tr. Well here is my problem. i got a 94 teg and my tail lights. cluster light (just the lights when you turn on ur headlights) and the sounds that lets u know that ur headlights are on when the door is open all stopped working out of no where. Yea i know about the fuse. I changed the fuse and after i did i turned on my headlights i heard the sounds for the lights an then snap the fuse popped. I think its a bad ground.

Anyone know any common grounds that go bad or think it may be something else? Please let me know. Thank you. If anyone wants to come look at the car i can pay if thats wat it takes. im tired of messing with my own cars... shit gets old fast.

thanks
Chris

What rang said...grounds don't pop fuses that way. They would only pop a fuse on a very high amperage item if the ground was loose.

Check over ALL live wires running to these items that is AFTER the fuse box.

A fuse gets popped if the amperage on the wire gets too high for the fuse to support the current draw. If a power wire touches directly to ground without the power being "used" by a source (example: radio, light bulb, speakers...) the amperage draw becomes too high and pops the fuse. Basically you have a live power wire touching ground somewhere before the actual source is using the power.

glad you fixed it, so someone cut into your turn single wires?i think your best bet for that is get a volt meter and look around under there
