Mystery Short in Headlamp Circuit

turbotim1Member

I have rarely driven my Pantera at night, but I "exercise" the lamps and doors at times. Last weekend I went to do that..and a fuse blew. So today I went out to the garage to trace the short. Headlamp motor ok, limit switches ok..fuse would blow the second it was turned to park or headlamps. After about a hour of my Sunday, I decided to pull the center console and look at the headlamp switch. I install ANOTHER fuse and disconnected the feeds from the switch. Turned on the power then connected the feeds one at a time....nothing...EVERYTHING STARTED WORKING AGAIN. Wife says.."you fixed it"..."No" I said...its still a mystery somewhere in the circuit....electrical...gotta love it.

The ones that fix themselves are the worst.
