'97 Trooper blowing taillight fuse

Aug 19, 2003 1 Replies

My '97 Trooper S has been blowing tailight fuses ever since I replaced the blown left 1157 bulb with a new one. In fact, I even replaced new GE 1157KR (longlife) blub with a new regular 1157 bulb which caused fuse to blow sooner.



Took truck to dealer, and they replaced the tailight relay ($39 for relay), but the problem continues.



Have used electronic contact cleaner on all connectors to tailight, and carefully inspected the wiring, but am not getting anywhere.



Got suggestions?



Thxs!

There's no trailer connector. I did notice, however, that the license plate light is mounted on a rusted bracket.
