Hi all,
Could use some advice on a turn signal issue I am having. Yesterday I tried hardwiring led license plate lights. The previous owner had installed a fender eliminator kit and had the license plate lights wired and I figured it would have been easier to cut them off instead of disassembling the rear, and re-wire my new led license plate lights using the cut leads from the previous install. I must have done a crap job because the tail light fuse blew, so I cut the wires and wrapped them in electrical tape, replaced the fuse and got the directionals working for a while. Fast forward to today after I filled up the tank and went for a 20 minute right the directionals and hazards crapped out about 15 minutes in. I decided to make sure might cut wires werent shorting somehow so I unwrapped them and separated them, replaced the fuse and now only my right directional is working. If I try my hazards or left turn signal I can see my headlight dim for a split second and I sometimes blow a fuse and my right turn signal no longer works. If I don't blow a fuse, I can get the right turn signal working again by turning the key off and turning back on.
Any tips on where I should be looking? Is it definitely a short somewhere or is my relay in need of replacement? Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance.
