When I got my oil changed at a local dealership, recently ... and they did their complimentary inspection ... they pointed out to me that both rear license plate bulbs were burned out ... and when they changed the bulbs, the lights did not work. They urged me to book a session wherein this problem could be figured out / solved.
I put off getting that done and a couple weeks later when I started the car up after sunset one evening, I found that I had no dashboard lights. When I got home I did a walk-around the car and of course found that there were no parking lights either. This situation must have occurred that day, as I park in an underground parking garage and the dashboard, etc. lights automatically come on noticeably.
I checked the manual and the fuse and sure enough the 15Amp fuse for that circuit was burned out. I put in another fuse (20 Amp as that was all I had on hand) and all the lights (except for the licence plate bulbs) worked once again.
Three days later that fuse burned out again.
************************************ Question: How hard is it likely to be to find the cause of the short or whatever is causing this?Thanks !!
