So my X had a ball on the bumper and wiring in the rear 1/4 for towing when I got it. I picked a tow dolly from my grandfather and when I brought it home, I had a few issues, and I feel they are related though I'm asking here to verify or identify the problem(s) that need corrected.
First I did a light check and parks and brakes worked just fine. The turn signals wouldn't even register to the outside lights at all (they never got brighter) but by the indicators inside they would flash on for maybe a 10th of a second and got out for about 2-3 seconds before attempting to flash again. Didn't have time to mess with it since it was late, and it was only a few back road miles home so I left with it. By the time I got home and tried to use the signals a few time outa habit it blew the fuse for the signals which also was the same circuit as the ac blower etc.
So my thought is since it still has an original style thermal flasher that with the additional lights on the trailer/dolly it over loaded the flasher causing it to burn out the fuse. Is this correct? Do I need to buy a new style electronic heavy duty flasher? Will that correct the issue?
Thanks yall.
