KC Laser taillight wire shorting? info please

[mateojordy]

Hey guys, just bought a kc and the tail and dash lights don't work, it has a blown fuse and when i replace it, it blows as soon as lights turn on. Leads me to believe its a wire shorting? Is it common and can you give me place to start looking before i have to check every wire. Cheers.

Can't say it's common, never heard of it before. Unfortunately with Lasers it could be anything. I'd say start with the tailights if the taillight warning was on but you can't tell since the dash won't light up, heh.

Have you replaced the stereo recently?? a mate of mine replaced his stereo and it had a power from the dash/tail lights going to it to provide backlight at night. He hooked it in thinking it was an earth wire by the colour, and every time he turned his lights on it shorted to ground through the stereo blowing the tail/dash light fuse. just a thought, hope it helps, Carl
