Been blowing the 10a fuse under the psgr floorboard panel everytime I turn on the running lights/headlights. Lose all interior lighting and ablilty to retract the headlamps by turning off headlamp switch. Suspect some moron at an auto shop replacing the bulb messed up the right turn/running bulb socket as it looks a bit blackened. Thinking I need to replace the bulb socket but wanted see if others had this issue. Thoughts?

sometimes I went to an automatic car wash-duh! and everytime the right turn bulb blew-out,somehow water was getting in-no more auto. car washes! the socket was blackened.replaced the bulb and now it has been o.k.Don't know if this is your prob. or not.I think water or moisture gets in maybe behind the lens.
 
this is one of the reasons to disable DRL's
