Default The problems begin =(

Hello again everyone. Right now im not very happy with the problems that have just begun. It started when I bought it and the front right DRL/ low light did not turn on. Well we looked at the bulb and the one part was burned out so I bought new ones and put it in. Now the problems started: when I pressed on the brake, the front blinker light goes on! Also it seems like a short as when I turn on the blinker it cuts off the main lights too or simply does not blink at all. The bulb seemed very hot too. We are guessing its the ground. Anyone have any advice? Similar problems? Anything is appreciated! Thanks.

Yeah I am aware of where the fuses are, but no paper is there.. They are numbered on the cover but no paper. Is it in the manual/ online somewhere? Thanks.

Alright well we checked the fuses and they seem to be fine and not burned out. Something that may not be relevant is that the top brake light is always lit when the lights are turned out. That seems to be not right..

Thanks a lot for just leading me somewhere. My car actually has the newer tails... I think I may be onto something right now but im not sure.. I think that the brake light has a 5amp fuse where a 10 is supposed to be (the brake fuse).

NVM.. But this definitely has to do something with the brake lights.. So does anyone know if the top brake light is supposed to light up once the lights are turned on ?
