Toyota Corolla blows fuse?
My girl friend has a 1991 Toyota Corolla that keeps blowing the #8 fuse. I know the fuse covers the tail lights, brake lights and the dash lights but is there an easy way to narrow down where I need to look to fix this. How does a person get the fuse box out so I can remove individual electric lines to a can trya new fuse without say the dash lights or without the brake lights ?

check bulb holders and near-by wire for corrosion ... i bet that it.. handling bulbs use heavy gloves...

first place i'd look is at the rear light sockets. since brake and running lights are involved, check any socket that employs an 1157 bulb. any/all dual elliment bulb, socket, or the wires behind the socket.
any dual elliment socket that has an incorrect 1156 single elliment bulb installed will also do this.

A fuse is blown by an excess of current. A short is the most likely the reason, unless other things have been added to the circuit and over loaded the fuse. Your best bet is to get a schematic. This will show Where connectors are to help isolate the area of the problem. Shorts in cars can be very hard to find, but sometimes you get lucky!
