Dude. Just rip all that shit out and run stock wiring. There's no need for all that extra crap that your PO installed.

[Wschnitz]

It was a european option from what Ive read, I just dont understand why its not working correctly. There must be a short somewhere.

This is what I have, the wire colors are probably not exact but you get the idea, also dont know where they wires through after they go into harness, its all covered and dont really have time to tear it fully apart.

It keeps popping the two 7.5Amp high beam fuses, and only those two.

There is so much possibly wrong there I don't where to start, not enough ground on the low beam side, wire gauge too small on the feed, bad splices, feedback( high resistance short) from the low beam to high beam on the ground side, bad connections, bad grounds, switches, relays not capable of handling the load, and on and on. Its a good thing the fuses blow before any real damage happens.

It LOOKS like that's how it's supposed to be wired. Have you checked wire resistance with things disconnected. Or tossed a 10a in the and see if it blows in the same amount of time? (I wouldn't run it for more than a little while to diagnose though...)

[Wschnitz]

I haven't to either, its my sisters car so because its being left here in Washington it might end up sitting unfixed. The low beams still work, the issues only happen when you turn on highs.

[Gerta]

why you movin'? Parents relocating or are you for school?

[kid325e]

Both? ; P

[Wschnitz]

Both, Pops asked to be put on a project in kenosha for next 4 years at amazon, im going to UW stout for my Network engineering degree.

[Gerta]

University of Wisconsin? Back with all the relatives right?

[Wschnitz]

Right, theres like a 95% chance i'll come back out here after college if i can though. I really like it out here, im going to miss it.

[kid325e]

Yeah I figure networking jobs out here are alot more likely then out there?

Shit, I better at least see you virtual driving on the interwebz.

Depends how shit TWC is for the driving.

Yeah network engineering is pretty open, I could get somewhere "easy" like intel/amazon/google/etc where you sit and maintain server farms all day. Or i could do something a bit more annoying and work for a company that would dispatch me to different businesses and set up and maintain their servers/voip service/etc.

I feel like I'm watching a conversation about going to mechanic school the day the Tesla Model S came out. You just can't predict what the market is really going to be looking for a few years down the line when you're just shipping out.

[Wschnitz]

Can always switch, should I go get a liberal arts degree instead? :P
