Basically my left tail lamp fuse from the engine department keeps blowing when the alarm goes on or when I activate it. I even put a 25amp fuse in there because I was getting pissed and was watching to see it blow and it did right infront of my eyes.

It has happened before but not to this extreme where everytime I activate the alarm the fuse pops. Recent electrical work was a volt stabalizer and grounding kit.

Let me know what you guys think, I'm going to check webtech wiring diagram later on tonight.

easy...

your left tail lamp fuse will blow if there is a short in your left tail lamp circuit or illumination circuit. when the alarm arms and disarms, it activates the lights. there is a short somewhere probably near the alarm (-) output for the lights.

Yup, your probably right.

yup check your ground connections...

also check the stabalizer connections.

You could also try to remove the wires from the stabalizer (if possible) to check to see if its a faulty stabalizer.

actually mine doesnt just pop when the alarm is activated. actually the short in the left side shorted my alarm fuse also.

so even if the alarm isnt connected and i put a fuse in there it blows.

long, is your driver side door open when it blows? have you removed the factory buzzers and just re-conected the wires running to them?

What wire did you guys tap into on your alarm for the illumination? If it's on the dimmer switch, then check that. When I ran into this problem there was a short there.
