Head light problem
 
just happen tonight, the headlight fuse keeps on blowing. the 30A one.. i replace it, try it, and keeps on blowing. it was working for the most part of the night and then it suddenly crapped out. anyone with suggestions would be great thank you

Sounds like you developed a short. How long does it take to blow, immediately, a few hours of use, a few days?

it blows immediately.

Did you recently replace your headlight bulbs?

nope headlights haven't been touched for like months.. could a blow blub be causing it? open to any kinda suggestions cuz blowing fuses 1 after another is just getting annoying... my headlights were working then all of a sudden nothing, only the parking lights etc work. The fuse blows right when i turn the headlights on. how hard is it to track down a short.... i'm guessing it's pretty dam hard... any suggestions would be great thank you

What kind are they? They might be the cause. I have seen cheap bulbs overheat and the filament post melt to leave molten fragments that could cause a short and they still were able to light up.
