    Looking for a electrical short hunter

    1989 mustang, no dome or under dash lighting & nothing in the rear hatch either. #8 in the fuse box is hot all the time. It has a 15amp fuse & blows right in your hand when installing. I'm no good with electrical problems, so i looking for a electric genius. Thanks! Fran

    Got an overload somewhere or open circuit. Check under the fuse box for any corrosion anywhere? I'm sure you can find a wiring diagram online somewhere, then just start tracing wires.

    If it looks good, you'll see it. If it sounds good, you'll hear it. If it's marketed right, you'll buy it. But if it's real, you'll feel it. IG: @donuttrump

    Have a wiring diagram, but that don't help. #8 fuse is light green with yellow. dome light, underdash lights & power mirrors, glove box light & rear hatch light.
