Fogs eat fuses!

[Godzilla]

My front fogs on my 91 Digi kill every fuse I put in there! They kill the 10's and 15's as soon as I turn the fogs on, 20's last about 5 seconds and 30's start smoking before the fog lights cut out..... any ideas?

they muct be shorting out somewhere check all the connections and wires to make sure there not broken

ok well we all know we have fuses for a reason lol! yeh dont use them until you have found out whats going on. get yourself a voltmeter and work back from the bulbs to the switch in the car. do you know about continuety testing?

Haha, i like the 'just use a bigger fuse till it doesn't burst' theory

As others have said, the live is shorting somewhere, trace all wires looking for obvious breaks from light to switch, then get continuity testing.

Could be worse - I read the title of this topic as 'frogs eat fuses'.

Now that could be a right pain!

Dont know about continuety testing.....how do I go about it?

Get a multimeter, set it to monitor continuity and touch either end of the wire.  If it alarms there's continuity, if it's silent then the stretch of wire you're checking has a short in it somewhere.
