PARKING LIGHT UPGRADE FAILED - BLOWN 15 AMP FUSE: WHERE TO TROUBLESHOOT FIRST WITHOUT REMOVING STEERING COLUMN COVER

[jalexquijano]

The dashboard instrument lights, parking lights and tail lights on my 72 240z were shut down when I turned  the combo switch on. I noticed that the 15 amp fuse inside the fuse holder in the Parking light harness kit went south. Replaced it with another 15 amp and keeps blowing the fuse? I really don’t use this car that much just on Sundays for an hour or two.

 How would you approach the repair systematically without removing the steering wheel column cover to access the female and male 6 wire connectors? Where would you check first?

 

Looking to hearing from you shortly.
