Electrical Fuse #9 Keeps Popping

[StonedGreen]

Hey guys, My 95 gt has developed a problem after i installed an aluminum clutch quadrant and adjustable clutch cable. The fuse for the brake lights and the flashers keeps popping. I changed the laser relay and the brake switch and i still have the problem. I brought it to my mechanic and he can't figure it out either. It pops randomly and i've changed it up to 3 times in one day. I need to figure this out because it's seriously bothering me.

thanks again
PS. all wires seem fine and not chafed. Will re-look if need be.

Short circuit? I mean thats the obvious answer. I once had a problem with my brake light fuse would go out any time i would shift (automatic)
I popped open console and turned out there was an exposed wire that would touch the shifter ever so often. Since i only would notice at night with lights on the problem went unnoticed for awhile

Yeah, I'll check the centre console. I've read the fog lights are connected on the same circuit. I also ordered a factory service manual

The fog light wiring was undersized for fog lights on fox bodies if i recall. I used to blow bulbs all the time when i ran my fog lights.

Assuming thsi was not a problem prior to the under dash work you did - I'd say it's a high probability that you have a pinched or chaffed wire there somehow...... look where the brake and or clutch arms travel and see if anything could be rubbing along that path. Not all mechanics are necessarily good at electrical.... not all electricians are good mechanics.....

Yeah I will definitely be taking a look soon. The car is going for a paint job and I want to dismantle a few things before giving and this was on the list to check
