just a lil story to bring everything back into perspective. drove my i wanna daily driver to work for a trial run, only 2 miles. one of my co-workers told me my tail lights were out. thought to myself $&!* worked before. so yesterday i look into the problem. i had been trying to remove the light switch so i start there. after finally getting the knob off and cleaning the contacts still no lights. crawl under looking at all the wiring and such i see nothing out of the ordinary. putting all the stuff back together i glance at the fuse box and think to myself, never even thought about fuses, i wonder.---- 20a
it isn't always a tuff fix sometimes its a normal thing that goes wrong.

Good reminder to check the basic stuff first.

Now.... what caused that fuse to blow?
