Out of nowhere the rear turn fuse on our 1994 Impreza blew replaced and then signal lights worked finedrove car and at 20 mi per hour or so without using the signals the fuse blew.cleaned fuse holder replaced fuse and had same result then pulled all bulbs and checked wiring at all four corners including backup lights.works while sitting in the driveway then at or around 20 mph or so fuse blows again! Got any ideas? thanksron.

first of all check and confirm whether in the fuse box separates the left from right side and see for blown fuse. or check for any disconnection on the rear light
I strongly suggest your first priority will be to discover why your tail lights are seemingly consuming many times more current than they should. A 30 amp fuse has less resistance than a 10 amp though the difference is hardly measurable.
I suspect when that is sorted out the other faults could disappear without further effort.
It is time to find a circuit diagram and to trace the tail light wiring from the supply to the lamps in order to discover what went wrong.
check all your fuses. something may have shorted out and blew out a fuse.if you don`t have blown fuse there is a short somewere.you will have to locate it.
I would check the wiring around the area you worked on. The abs wheel speed sensor connector or wiring might have a poor connection now or the harness going to the sensor. I would just double check and then wiggle the wiring harness. If the fuses stop blowing out then you know you have a short in the harness or a short to ground. You need to make sure the harness is routed exact same way as before and no hitting any metal at all.
Access your fuse box and check the fuse labled- rear tail lgts,turn sgns, that fuse is blown, replace the fuse with the same value fuse, while your under there, on the fuse box or next to it you'll find 2 round plug in components, about the size of a Marshmellow, one of these is your flasher unit and the other is for your turn signals, replace both of these, even though one may work, it's just good sense to replace both, that shoud fix your rear lighting problem. good luck.....
1.Remove front & Rear turn signal Bulbs.
2.Replace Fuse.
3.Signal on.
4.Fix rear Signal Bulb.
5.Fix Front Signal Bulb.
7.If your Fuse blown.
8.Defect is There.
hi mate if you keep blowing fuses disconnect your front fog lights and try again if your dash lights work then a bulb has failed and gone to earth if it still blows the fuse disconnect the dahs pod (clocks) and reconect the fog lights if it does not blow the fuse the it probably is the dash pod or something associated with the pod hope it helps
Without a proper scan tool test for ABS DTC's, I can only suggest a few things...Look at the rear backing plates and check to see if the wires going to the ABS sensors are intact. If the wires are cut or frayed, you will get a ABS light on. Low fluid will throw this light on too. Also, see if there is any rear end lube innside the rear drums, if so, the sensors are not reading the ABS counter gear(s).
As to the dash lights, you may need to replace your turn signal/headlamp switch assby.
