Daddy always said, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it". Well, I couldn't help myself. All of my interior headliner lights work fine but I like the look of the bright white of LEDs. I bought a $20 set off Amazon and when I installed the first one it blew the 10A fuse. The only troubleshooting info I could find was if they don't work the first time, flip them to correct +/- polarity, but nothing was mentioned regarding the possibility of blowing the fuse. I did replace the fuse and flipped the bulb but got the same result - blown fuse - TWICE. I've only attempted to do this above the driver's door.
I think I can use a multimeter to confirm +/- of bulb and socket, but I'll have to find a how-to on that.
I feel like there's something obvious I'm overlooking. I have had, knock wood, ZERO electrical issues with my '04 EXT. Nor have I made any other electrical modifications. With a fresh fuse, my old bulbs continue to work fine.
Also these are the cheap lights. I don't mind spending more on a better set but other TBers are using these with no problems.
Any possible solutions would be most appreciated.
