Hey fellas! Its been awhile since ive been on here, school is a PITA!!!

But anyway im home for the weekend and my sister has a 2005 Renny and shes having a few wiring problems that are just outragous.
It all started when her right tail light went out, I replaced it about 2 months ago-it went out 2 days later. Then I replace it again- went out a few days later. etc. etc. It has happend about 5 times that ive had to replace it so far.
Well this weekend when I came home, she realized her front power plug wasnt working, come to find out a fuse was blown, I so replaced the fuse AND I replaced the tail light for the 6th time.
Now heres where it gets wierd..... after replacing the light bulb yesterday it went out a few hours later and even with the front lights on, the dash, the radio, and basically every interior light that is lit up when the head lights are turned on, only brighten up when the brake is pushed in- just like the 3rd brake light.

What did I do wrong? :shock:

sounds like a brake hot lead is grounding with a vehicle ground (not chassis but common vehicle ground)

Check the trailer wiring near the exhaust and see if maybe some of the wires are melted together, then check the wiring for that tail light that keeps popping

i'm thinking somewhere in that area you'll find damaged wires
