check your connectors for your tail lights... see if they are corroded or messed up they coudl be wet and shorting out, maybe consider getting new sockets.-Eric<br /><a href=\"http://www.cardomain.com/id/mustangeater82\" target=\"_blank\">2000 NBM V6 Camaro 5-speed</a> T-top <i>converted</i><br /><b>14.467@95.45mph</b> <i>$0 in mods</i><br /><i>The member formerly known as MustangEater8251</i>

Hmm.. do your taillights even turn on or does your dash just go out once u plug it in?
Hard to say, maybe some grounds are lose or the fuse is just plain bad
Have you or ne previous owners if ne done ne thing to it ?
Also this query should probably be in the stereo/electronics section-RJ \"Like trail mix I\'m a lil sweet but mostly nutty\"<br />Metallic Blue 2001 3.8 Firebird M5<br />FRA,Smoothed Air lid, Homedepot Intake, K&N Air Filter, MSD Coils & Plug wires, Iridium Plugs, Flash Tune, 2.5 Flowmaster Catback.

ok, the fuses dont blow, they just get hot..now when i turn my parkin lights on there on but still hot but when i turn my head lights on they go off, along with the dash lights, this is reasy fusterating:(96 camaro Y87~3.8 5 speed~75 shot zex nitrous~K&N~80\'s series flowmaster~yokahama tires~323 gears~5% tint all windows~bose sound~http://www.cardomain.com/ride/822994

i bet it is, my best guess is wires are crossed some where or you have an incomplete circuit on the last switch for lights and stuff.
Cuz the dash is like the only place you might find a series-parallel circuit
Also if the fuse or wires really get that hot, it probably means that the resistance in them is too weak for the amount of amps and/or current and they will probably go bad or melt quickly
I really think you should re post this or sumtin in the electronics area if you havent alredy or hopefully a electrition or someone sees this-RJ \"Like trail mix I\'m a lil sweet but mostly nutty\"<br />Metallic Blue 2001 3.8 Firebird M5<br />FRA,Smoothed Air lid, Homedepot Intake, K&N Air Filter, MSD Coils & Plug wires, Iridium Plugs, Flash Tune, 2.5 Flowmaster Catback.
