SOURCE: accessory fuse keeps blowing, headlight not working

I know this sounds aomewhat general, however please give the following some thought:
Check your relays, if you have an aftermarket horn you may have a different relay. To troubleshoot unplug your headlight, unplug your horn, etc.. Turn your ignition switch to accessory only. See if the fuse pops. If it does unplug whatever added accessories you may have still have plugged in. Once you can get the fuse to stop popping, turn the ignition switch to on. Then one at a time plug you accessory, headlight, etc. back in. When you find what pops the fuse, unplug that item, start plugging in the other items, if the fuse has not popped you have potentially isolated the circuit causing the issue. Now check the wiring for loose connections, bad ground, and CHECK the relay if that item has one. Hope this helps,

SOURCE: oil blowing out throttle body on filter and

The oil may not be coming out of the throttle body. The crankcase breather system is actually in the rocker box covers. Yes, there is a breather gear in the crankcase but that is for the oil return to the oil pump.

The crankcase ventilation system vents crankcase pressure into the air cleaner as required by the EPA. The purpose is to route oil mist contained in the crankcase ari that is vented into the engine to be burned. There are 'umbrella valves" in the center section of the rocker boxes. Over time, the heat makes these pieces get hard and brittle since they are made of a type of rubber. When this happens, they don't stop the oil mist as well as they used to. The oil mist is blown into the air filter where it coaleses into drops of oil. This is normal for any Harley due to their engine design.

But, if it's too bad, I'd suggest replacing the umbrella valves. Simply remove the top and center section of the rocker boxes by removing the six bolts that hold the parts on the top of each cylinder. Replace the umbrella and the edge gaskets and replace the covers. Torque the bolts to 10-13 foot pounds.

Good Luck
Steve

2019 Harley iron883. Why aren't tail lights working?

Hi, Jimmy tail light issues are relatively easy to diagnose and repair always check the tail light fuse first and make sure you have power on both sides of the fuse holder and the usual suspects are:
1. Taillight bulb element is broken.
2. Taillight bulb soldered contacts are extremely worn down.
3. Taillight bulb socket corroded.
4. Taillight bulb socket has no power and or ground.
5. Taillight wiring harness damaged from the rear tire.
6. Taillight rear fender wiring harness connector faulty due to corroded, broken, or loose pins/sockets.

1998 Nissan maxima GLE taillights fuse keep blowing! bulbs are good when checking wires by light bulbs I noticed that the backup lights where hooked to the taillights is this normal!?

no
reverse lights get power from a reversing switch and hove a separate circuit
check for correct bulbs in the holders as a duel contact bulb in a single point contact holder will short and blow fuses

Tail light is out..do i need a fuse or bulb?

If just 1 tail light out it is your bulb, check for corrosion in bulb holder aswel, when you fit any rear bulb give the bulb holders and plugs a spray with wd40, stops moisture & prevents corrosion.

How do I change the light bulb

headlight, remove the rubber boot, then unclip the wire harness (it will usually have a tab to press down) then either undo the wire clip or turn the bulb side to side and 'wiggle' it out. Remember dont touch the glass when putting the new bulb in. Taillights, twist the plastic holder then with a clean rag twist the glass bulb out of the holder.

My 2008 ford Escape drivers side tail light and blinker are out. Perhaps it is a fuse? where can i find the fuse box diagram?

It's probably not the fuse if it's only one side. The fuse will power both tail lights. I would check the bulb first.

Good Luck!

Replaceing rear signal light

1. Remove the two small Phillips head screws holding the inside edge of the Taillight assy (you have to open the tailgate)

2. Pull straight back on the Taillight assy levering most of your pressure to the outside edge.
(There is two peg like things [top and bottom of the assy]stuck into a tight fitting hole in the body, so it will take some effort, as they are pretty snug..but, they should eventually pop out)

(Put a dab of vasoline on the pegs before you stick them back in, this makes future entries easier)

3. Twist each lamp base 1/4 turn CCW and the lamp base/holder will come right out of the Taillight assy.

4. While grasping the bulb, Pull straight out from the base..Insert new Bulb.
(Spray a little lubricating contact cleaner in the socket and on the bulb base, before you put the new bulb in.)

5. Add a little vinly/rubber spray protectant to the rubber gasket on the base.

6. Re-install Lamp and base into Taillight assy using a 1/4 turn CW twist of your wrist

7. Align the pegs on the Back of the Taillight assembly with the mating holes on the body.

8. Gently, but firmly smack the Taillight assy with the heel of your hand,to seat the pegs.

9. Re-install and tighten the two screws and go wipe off the finger prints and smudges from Taillight assy lens.

    Right rear taillight not working

    The right side tail light and plate light get their power
    from from the left side. The first thing to do is change
    the bulb, if this fails, use a 12v test light or meter (the
    light easier in this case) and check the power wire
    from left to right. If you have power from socket to socket, check the ground, if you have good power and ground and a new bulb. Replace the socket.
    Hope this helps. Good luck.

    Brake lights L/R don't work _ bulbs are good, but L had burn mark on connector. I don't know where the fuse is - could it be blown? Center brake light strip works when car is running.

    This is a royal pain with the SLK - There is a recall on the tail light assemblies - did you get those new lights installed? Check with dealer
    Its a issue with those **** bulb holders not making contact with the printed wire on the taillight assembly - thats right they are printed circuits in there, and the heat from the lamp deforms the bulb holder
