i did check for shorts in my lights, and there aren't any. If i had one, none of the lights would work, since all the powers come from one distro block (one for each color) and a grounded line on one, would ground out all of them. Its happened, and its blatently obvious.
As for the fuse block, you just proved my own idiocy.
if your first fuse is 10A you can't possibly put a 5A on the same tap... duh. when the first draws more then 5, its gonna blow the 2nd. its not like there is a diode in between, in the little plastic piece. I'm dumb.
and as for the transistor... I found it.
thanks cliff! but... i unplugged it, and the wires are still shorted. If it was the bad spot, that should fix it, right? So, I guess I go back to tracing wires.
