unplug each one in turn, until you find the culprit.

or the rear light brackets have a tendancy to get corroded over the years. I have had to take everyone of em apart when buying a new sierra. never had them blow a fuse though.
just weak or no signal.

New 15 amp fuse blew straight away.

Disconnected wiring connectons to rear lamp clusters on both sides: Tried again but fuse blew again.

Removed both indicator bulbs from front but again fuse blew.

Am at a bit of a loss now... does this fues protect any other systems ???

Any help mates

Cheers

Gary
