If you remember I was blowing the 10 amp tail fuse on my 84. replaced inside rear bulbs. couldn't reach outside ones. did have a loose wire on one inside one. fixed it. replaced all the front ones while I was at it, all worked good. hit bump, blew fuse. replaced fuse and the two right front parking lights dont work. found loose ground on front one. removed bulb and ground (it actually kinda feel out, connector had broken rubber seal only thing barely holding on) drove for a week no blown fuse. today, fuse blows at the very same spot (uneven pavement). Now I notice after replacing the fuse the amber side marker is actually, only barely glowing. Have 12.85 volts on brown wire, but my schematic shows brown(hot)and black ground(but its actually a brown and blue. That blue(which I believe is for the turn signal) must complete the circuit on the brown somehow for the bulb to light, so somewhere it seems to be "lacking" in its appointed duty. Where does the blue wire go and could whatever it goes to be bad, and shorting out at that point. I have "schematics" but I use that term loosely since its not wired exactly like it shows. any help will be g-r-e-a-t-l-y appreciated. going back outside, but I'll leave the light on
