Good god man.....Love to help you out on your 1986 GTX, but I haven't a clue what you are talking about. Maybe list the symptoms?

There is the brake light bracket under your dash. You need to put the dome light wire (mine was red) to the battery (fusebox). And then put that on the bracket. Then put the brake light wire (yellow) on the other side of the bracket. That way the brake lights get power when you press the brakes instead of the dome lights.


Brake light switch lookie like this

I only understood what you said because this same thing happened to me ... ish...

Ruthless bunch here sometimes

chit happens...LOL... of course it's not wired correctly, if the interior lights come on when your stepping on the brakes, kind of obvious I know... I would trace the affected wires back, & refer to the Factory Service Manual for proper configuration...

You probably have and didn't realize it. Volkswagen, Nissan and Renault all had GTX models for 1986.

By then, Plymouth had moved on to Horizons and Reliants...(yawn)

Well, at least you didn't blow a seal.

Sorry, I don't buy it.

Only a blown fuse? Why did the fuse blow in the first place? Fuses do not normally blow unless something happens or they get overloaded by aftermarket add-ons.

Could you have an occasional short that blew the fuse? Unless you have a good idea why the fuse blew, I would still look carefully at the circuit that blew..
