Tail light fuse blowing

There are a few potential causes for the fuse blowing on the tail lights of your 2002 Subaru Outback after replacing the headlamps:

1. Faulty wiring: The wiring for the tail lights may have been damaged during the headlamp replacement process, causing a short circuit and causing the fuse to blow.
2. Faulty tail light assembly: The tail light assembly itself may be faulty and causing the fuse to blow.
3. Incorrect fuse: Make sure you are using the correct size and type of fuse for the tail lights. Using the wrong fuse can cause it to blow.

To troubleshoot the issue, you can start by checking the wiring for any damage or loose connections. You should also inspect the tail light assembly for any damage or issues. If you are unable to find the problem, you may need to consult with a mechanic or dealership technician for further assistance. They will have the necessary tools and expertise to properly diagnose and repair the issue.

First make sure the tail light fixtures aren't full of water. After that check the bulb sockets for rust and corrosion. After that chase the power wire and see where it is shorted to ground.

Look for shorts in the circuitry.

Is there a trailer hitch wiring that could be causing your problem??

you may have a short in one of your tail lights unplug one and see if the fuse blows if so plug in light and unplug second light and see if fuse blows in not start your search at the plug for that light. you may find the light it self may be faulty

91 honda accord lx, fuse keeps blowing for tail lights. changed rear bulb sockets but still, same problem. fuse blows soon as i turn on the park lights. what can be the problem?

The fuse is no.8 (15amp) in the interior fuse panel however it works all the park lights front and rear.

Consider what you have changed when stereo was installed. Using existing wiring is not like it used to be. The electronics has changed that. Going from fuse block is not a good thing.
Try undoing and examining wiring for damage and consider routing from battery. Cables are available for extra wiring from the battery.
