Blinkers Not Working Properly HELP

I think I F***** up. i thought it would be a good idea to not only wire some halogen fogs to the hot wire on my running lights, but to put a 20 amp fuse in replacement of a 15 that blew because of the fogs using so much power. Now, when i have my running lights on, (keep in mind i took the fogs out and put the right fuse in) and i go to left turn signal with my foot on the brake, my reverse light in my tail lights comes on, ON BOTH TAIL LIGHTS, and flashes, looking like my hazards are on. if anyone can help i would appreciate it, cause i haven't been using my blinkers sense i found out. Could it be a relay? or do you think my wiring is melted?

I have no idea if the brake switch and/or headlight switch are f'd. Maybe look for burned wiring.

 

Yeah ive been looking. i took the tail light out and checked, and everything looked fine. im going to have to follow the wire all the way down my chasse. it seems like to me that the left tailight, or the left running light caused this. because the fogs that i put in only had one power wire, and they were wired together, so i was using just the hot green wire on the left side. im gonna buy a relay and see what happens before i go burnt wire hunting.

I think you nuked the relay. Check for heat discoloration on those wires for that.

Next time, add a independent relay and switch for your fogs. Tried cheating my way into the same type of deal years ago by just hot wiring the fogs thru the batt positive and ground switching them on. At the time,,,it was the hotter setup with the right bits. 2 8" KC 200's with no relay. My problem was that I couldn't find a switch that would take the heat. I ended up with a big blade switch that you see in the Frankey movies (Throw the switch egore!). Full battery shunt mega light out of those KC"s,,and they didnt burn out amazingly.

 

finally! thanks for the tip ill check that out for sure! how much do you think a new relay will run me?
