My 74 Dart Sport, which is cloned into the Duster in my avatar, just started blowing the fuse that handles the turn signals, back up lights, heater blower and the wipers. I only have the turn signals and back up lights on the car; the heater and wipers aren't on it.
The fuse blows a couple seconds after the key is turned on with neither the t/s or back up lights on.
So, this tells me that there is a dead short before or at the back up light switch, before or at the turn signal switch, or before where the wiper or heater switches were.
I have a wiring diagram and have begun to look at it. There is no legend with the diagram, but I'm sorta figuring it out.
This just occurred, and I want to take it to a show Saturday (It's NOT a show car, just want to take it!), so I thought maybe I could save some time by asking on here if there is anything that is a common issue. I can live without the back ups, but I'd like to have the turn signals.
