Which fuse for running lights? - 9/17/2007 11:12:39 PM

So I borrowed a buddy's trailer over the weekend. I checked the brake lights and turn signals before I left, but didn't have the running lights on since it was daytime. When it got dark, I turned my headlights on and the dash went dark. The indicator lights still work, but no illumination for anything else. No tail lights, no license plate light, etc. My headlights work, and the brake lights and turn signals wtill work on both the Montero and the trailer, but no running lights. I haven't tracked it down, but based on the quality of the wiring, I'd say there's a VERY good chance that the running light circut is (or was since the leads test fine now) shorted somewhere.

I didn't have my meter with me to test every fuse in the box, and none of them were labeled anything that sounded right. Is there an underhood fuse/relay/whatever like the headlights (I assume) have? Somewhere I have a shop manual on cd, but can't find it right now. Is there anything else that would blow if the circuit was shorted (and still allow everything else to work)?

Thanks,
Eric
