I hope someone will know something about this. I have a '71 bus that is blowing fuses. It blows fuses number 1 & 2. These are the parking lights, front and rear. I still have brakes lights, turn signals and headlights. I thought at first that it was a faulty headlight switch. I replaced it and still get the same thing. As soon as I pull on the switch those two fuses blow. The strange thing is that this didn't happen before I installed the new motor. I did check the wires in the back to make sure I hadn't messed them up. I guess that next I will start pulling apart all the bulb assemblies and checking things out. Could it be something else up there under the dash? Thanks, Jim ps The new motor is up to about 170 miles. I am on the fourth oil change and the valves and swivel feet adjusters seem to be settling down. Last night only one or two of them needed tiny adjustments. The Weber progressive gets a big thumbs up so far. I have really been keeping my foot out of things and it still feels like it could pull tree stumps. This weekend I will begin a serious attack on the rust. -- James A.
