Still stumped on wire heating problems, guys ill tell you the truth, im stumped ! when i use the flashers/turnsignals the emergency flasher fuse heats up almost to hot to touch , especially the back where wire connects to back of fuse box. (whats weird is it seem like when i squeeze spot it gets hotter) when back kick panell connector to rear lights is disconnected fuse doesnt overheat , i cannot find a short or problem with rear bulbs ,wiring, have regrounded everything, ran new wires to brown, green wires to trunk, connected new wiresgreen brown from kick junction to old on drivers side in trunk before they start a series, regrounded rear light housings to frame and ran ground to side light housings, completly disconnected ALL wires to rear except brown and green , still over heats fuse , im not talking warm , but gets too hot, fuse never blows ? replaced bulbs, checked for shorts, i know flashers and fuses can get warm, but i dont want to put everything back together with this over heating problem , ive got every thing disconnected possible , light switch, dimmerswitch, brake switch all front bulk head connecters (using one jump hot to bulkheat for testing when testing only back end ) also ignition switch disconnected and all dash. can the diode be a problem.i dont think i have one. when i take out back four flasher sockets rear plate light and rear side markers flash. ive determined this is normal as power from ungrounded flasher sockets are just finding ground thru other elements (black wire to other bulbs) bulbs test .4-.6 and 2.2 to 2.5 ohms res. the shorter element is the one that flashes (i think the one with the least resistance ? ) Could my problems still be in dash and it just appears to be in back when i plug in at kick panel. iv got a new turn signal switch in, cant find any problems with it. somebody i read earlyer tonight had to sand a fuse holder to get lights to work, im going to try that ? something is drawing to much amps ,surely a short ? , any ideas appreciated !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ps. when i felt the back of fuse getting real hot while holding it in my right hand , i took my volt meter lead and pinched a red lead in my left hand and with aligator clipped the black lead to car frame and it registered 9.6 volts, has any one ever heard of this ? also over heats wether car running or not !
