Cigarette Lighter Fuse Keeps Blowin

[Shorthorse]

Excellent, sounds like you are making progress. According to the stock wiring diagram there are three pink wires. If the M&H harness is identical, you have eliminated one of the three. Just a guess but the other two are probably the glove box lead which isn't connected because you don't have one. However, there would still be a hot pink lead somewhere. And the other would have to be the dome, console & trunk light lead. Earlier you disconnected the harnesses under the kick panel so you eliminated those pieces from that point back. You are real close.
Keep us informed.

So I Think I Figured It Out.. I Disconnected Some Of The Accessory Pink Wires To The Back Of The Fuse Box That I Connected and Connected The Battery and The Fuse Didnt Blow and The Dome and Map Light Still Work... Maybe Overloaded The Circuit...


Another Issue I Been Dealing With Is The Windshield Wiper Motor Keeps Pulsating When Its Off and The Dash Lights Flicker..The Wiper Is A 3 Speed Wiper Motor I Had Rebuilt By Someone In Florida...

I Dissconnected It And Everything Works Fine.. Also My Orange Reverse Light Was Staying On

Thanks

Are you saying that disconnecting the wiper motor also corrected the backup indicator at the dash? Were the backup lights also on as well as the indicator light? Does the backup indicator light work correctly now?
Windshield wiper motors utilize a ground to return to the rest position when they are shut off. I'm a little weak on that but maybe someone can chime in. If you look up testing a Mopar wiper motor on You Tube, they have some examples. I suspect that ground is missing and the motor is trying to cycle back to the rest position.

That pink wire you cut was definitely the culprit. I doubt it's an overload. If all the courtesy lights work fine now, I'm betting it's that glove box light lead you're not using. You still might want to trace that loose wire. Nobody likes a dash fire.

I can't help on console wiring. I can see it on the diagrams but I don't know what it physically looks like. I did a little research but all I picked up on was that there is a difference between auto & 4 speed console harnesses so there's probably a difference in the dash harness itself. Again, hopefully somebody that really knows will help.

Well, i faced the same issue with my cigarette lighter.
I replaced the complete dash wiring with a new one as it was in a bad and cut-up shape.
I found the interior lights not working, and after i found the fuse was blown so installed a new one and installed the light bulb in the dome light and worked fine. (after i removed the bulb again as i was working in the car with the door open and don't want to drain battery.)
When i was doing something else, i noticed in the corner of my eye a glow inside the dash and once i looked at it it was gone.
Checked, same fuse again...
Disconnected the cigarette lighter and never happened again, installed dome lights etc and not happend.

Previously i dismantled the complete cigarette lighter and cleaned it up.
Only found the ceramic ring was broken but glued it back, i will never use it anyway.
Another fact, being always supplied with 12V and being made to create heat....i will leave it disconnected
