I really don't what to tell but I thought I had it narrow down to right rear fin....so I put the fuse in and everything works. I know for how long? I pulled the fuse and sure enough the bulb glows. I have the car in the garage with all the lights on and waiting. Grrrrr.

When I used the bulb in the fuse box to test the system with using a fuse because the fuses kept blowing.
OK. Got that. I think it was a given something was shorting and thought you were trying to drill down to where it was on the other post? Still not sure what you meant with initial post where you said "I repainted the bumper trim cover on the back but all those connection are plugs." Since I am assuming no fuses were blowing before this, but now they are, I would look to see what it could have affected wiring-wise. My question was what is a bumper trim cover? Did you move or affect any wires, especially the feeds, connector and short wires to the tail fins. Since I believe you had isolated the short to past the body feed at trunk connector, then specifically to the tail fin lights, I am guessing you have pinched the wires to the tail fin? More specifically since blinkers work, but fuse blows when head lights / running lights are turned on (again trying to read between the lines), I assume it would be the dark green wire to fins.
I feel a lot better for that information, I was really confused and did not know what to think. I'm going to drive around with everything apart for a couple of days.
Thank you
No problem, it was a learning experience.
Thank you for updating that.
I've been working on with the charger on it today with all the lights on. Going to test it now..
yeah I kind of figured that out later. Sorry you have to put up with us novice mechanics.
I enjoy it but not no more. I have everything still apart and I'm getting ready to take her out for a spin. Now that I know where everything is, how to access it and how to check I will be ready if this fuse blows. By the way the truck is awful big and I still had a hard time getting in it. lol Getting too old. By the why I was using the continuity meter. I'm better at this now.
Thanks for all the help and support.
I hope I did not mesh with neutral switch. Just came back from my 1 1/2 hr. cruise and everything good. I start putting the car back together tomorrow. I probably saw the last movie but I forget more than I remember these days and I'm not that old.

While checking my Carter carb with engine running, I took the air cleaner off and there was a very loud hissing sound of air. I placed a piece of paper over the carb and it didn’t move up or down, is this normal?

Hey everyone, has anybody done a Vintage Air AC/Heat setup in their car? I want to bypass the old vacuum setup and go with a Vintage Air Gen 2 model. Before I get started, does anyone have any experience with this? (Which model to go with, do’s and dont’s, etc.) It looks pretty involved. Any and all info/pics would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Who rebuilds original AC accumulator dryers for 1964 Cadillac? I have been on Classic auto air in Tampa FL wait list for over a year , There is one on Old air products web site that looks very similar to the original # 21-4214A but states it fits 1962 Gm cars, The one recommended for a 1964 Cadillac is half the length 21-4215A What is everyone using ? I would prefer to be as original as possible. Thanks

My son, unbeknownst to me, had all three of the horns on our 1963 Eldorado completely restored. We had recently added the Eldorado trumpet horn to the two standard horns and the sound was not very good... we had heard good ones so we knew something was not right... but there was not much we could do to get better sound from the 3 horns.
There is a restoration service called The Horn Works who my son…
