Headlight fuses keep blowing

The right headlight fuse keep blowing and I need to know how to fix it. Right now there is no fuse in it so it wont cause no other problems. What cause the fuses to keep blowing and where can I find a diagram of the wiring system to the headlight

You have a short circuit somewhere in the wiring. Either a cut or bare wire. If not, the headlamp is causing the short. Last resort, use a higher amp fuse (but this may compromise wiring system).

SOURCE: Rear defroster fuse keeps blowing

Get you some rin foil and put on the fuse and plug it back in. Where ever the short is. It will start smoking. So becareful and keep yours eyes open for smoke or burning. You will darn sure find the problem.

Good Luck.

SOURCE: why is the abs fuse keep blowing in 1999 mercury cougar?

You will need to optain a wire schematics for the abs system and related parts. The fuse is blowing because there is an obvious short circuit in the system. The wire schematics will help you trace the shorted power wire thats giving you problems. Repair wire as nesessary. (Replace damaged section of wire) Replace fuse.

SOURCE: the fuse to the fuel

unsure of where the fuse box is, but maybe the pump is trying too hard to pump fuel thru a partially plugged filter and is getting overloaded. has the filter been changed?

My lights are not working properly ,head light comes on but no low lights or back light

If by "low lights" you mean the other lights on the front of the car that are not the headlights, then the first thing you should check is the fuse box. Because of the possible disaster that a sudden loss of headlights during a drive at night could cause, headlights are often on their own circuit breaker that automatically resets and tries to keep the headlights on if at all possible. The other less critical lights (side markers, running lights, etc.) are fed by more conventional fuses that simply blow and have to be replaced. Of course SOMETHING caused the fuse to blow, so first find the blown fuse, read the label on the fuse box lid that tells you what lights are together on that fuse and then inspect every one of those lights until you find the cause. It can be anything from a corroded socket, to a pinched wire or abraded insulation. The detective work is the fun part of car do repair if you keep the right attitude.

The left headlight on my 2002 honda accord doesnt work

look for blowed 10 amp fuse in the interior fuse box.dont put any fuse in any empty fuse slots because you dont what controls that circuit.could cause electrical fire.if fuse okay could have bad bulb.if headlight bulb is blowed wear clean pair of gloves because headlight bulbs are halogen if you touch bulb with fingers,oils from you fingers will cause halogen bulbs overheat and blow out.halogen bulbs is not cheap.

Lights arent going on,boyfriend changed fuse yesterday and it worked. Gotta do it again to be able to drive to shop. Need fuse layout for headlights

It's not a fuse problem....
The car has at least 4 fuses for headlights. one for each Dip left + right hand side (10A mp approx) and 2 more Main left + right. Your front fog and sidelights are also seperate fuses. A doggy connection or relay is a high suspect instead.

Right headlight keeps popping right headlight fuse in panel then right headlight goes out

Sounds like you have a short to ground causing your fueses to blow. These can be difficult to find at times. You will have to look around for wires that are grounding out on the frame or on another wire. It could possibly be found in the engine compartment. Move wires around and start looking under wire looms and such. Good luck....

Headlights wont work

Fuse 22 and fuse 23 are left and right low beam headlamp fuses located in the PDC. 23 and 24 are high beam fuses. There is also a low beam and a high beam relay in PDC as well. If no headlights work I would check for main switch or multifuction switch (wiper/high beam) since each light has its own fuse and relay.

2000 honda civic vp keeps blowing low beam fuses left and right.

Fuses nearly always blow because of a bad earth. The switch only needs to short for a moment and the fuse will blow.

See if you can find a replcement swtich from a local breaker's yard or ebay and go on from there.

1989 honda accord headlight fuse blows as soon as replaced

you more than likely have a shorted wire in the headlight harness... you will have to check the wiring from the headlight bulbs to see if it has been pinched up against a sharp metal edge causing a grounded wire, or maybe the harness was crushed by an improper headlight installation.

Both headlights out... fuse fixes it temporarily

Are you absolutely positive you are installing the correct amp fuse ?
I think headlights on Subaru's run thru a relay, which could be bad.
Here's a how-to that may help.
