Any ideas, seems like I'm having an amperage surge, maybe replace s/g?? |
It is possible that your second bulb was just faulty to start with, but the previous blown fuse would lead me to think not. With out a meter I would just trace the wires back looking for hot spots, not the easiest task when dealing with old dried out harnesses. With the tester you have you should be able to ground to the frame and probe the negative terminal to see if you have power there. Pull and twist the wires, while you are probing the light socket, to see if anything changes. You could probably rewire the entire circuit faster than tracing down the problem.
