Blowing fuses I have an 89 ford festiva with a brand new mazda engine. The dash lights, tail lights keep going out. Not sure which amp fuse to use. Keep blowing 10 and 15, please help. Thanks

Look for shorts in the circuitry.

The dash lights have their own 5 amp fuse. The power for this fuse comes through the fuse for the tail lamps. This is done so that if the fuse for the tail lamps blows, the driver will know because the dash lamps go out and when he checks the dash lamp fuse, it will be good, but there will be no power going to it. Most common issue though, is that someone accidentally turned the dimmer switch for the dash lamps completely down. Check that first.

might be an exposed power wire to your lights grounding out. check your headlight wires for this.

I have a f-250 super duty,2001, dash& running lights don,t work, found a 15 amp fuse blown in engine compartment. fuse,s keep blowing. please help.

This seems simple. Must be a fuse blown.
check in your fuse box below the steering wheel and locate the tail light and wipers fuse if the small wire is broken then its buggered.
Replace with the appropriate rated fuse and re assess.
If still not going then check the bulbs in your tail lights.
All of these maybe on one fuse so if thats gone that explains why they are all out..
keep me posted.

i have a 1992 hilux surf import turbo diesel and my head lights go on but no dash lights indicators work fuses keep blowing what does this mean??

if your wiper motor arm bushings are worn or seized,it will draw too much current. disconnect the wiper motor and see if the other fuse keeps blowing. maybe your blower motor is no good either.

your lights are grounding out some where you will have to check for a dead short in the wiring use a volt meter in the resitance mode and track through you power side of the lights untill you find your dead short, start at the back and work your way to the fuse box pull the fuse and follow the wire. there is a short in it it will just take some time going through look for worn coating, cracks, or melted.
good luck & and happy hunting

There are 4 fuses you would need to check in the interior fuse panel.
The first one is fuse no.32(10amp) then check no. 33 (15amp) then no. 59 (7.5 amp) and no. 61 (7.5 amp)

It sounds like you solved this one your self . It does sound like the switch has went bad, but also look for any lose or bad wires around the tail lights and the wire harness going to them.
