Best Answer

You have to find a short in the circuit that is causing the fuse to blow. Examine the tail light harness and also the license plate light. The license plate light can be where the short is as it is easily damaged in the bumper area. Use a "short checker".

This kit can be found at a good automotive parts store and instructions are included. Basically you substitute a heavy amp circuit breaker for the fuse. As the circuit breaker trips on and off, you follow the wire with a "Galvanometer", (a small hand held amp gauge); the needle moves back and forth as the current in the wire moves it. When you go past the area of the short, the needle stops moving as there is no more current passing through the wire as it went to ground before that.

What would cause your fuse to blow when you turn on your lights on your 1993 Mazda 323 the fuse to the tail lights on dash lights blow?

I'm not sure I understand your question. I can't tell if you have one or two different fuses "blowing." The only thing which causes fuses to "blow" is a short circuit condition in the circuit which the fuse protects. IF you have two different circuits blowing fuses, then you have at least two short circuit faults. j3h
