The fuse # 40 Keeps blowing up, it is a 15 AMP, don't try putting a different higher amp in as that will cause an electric fire under the dash. I have changed this fuse a million times, I have changed all the bulbs and sockets with no results. I have also changed the big fuse, fuse #10 multiple times per my mechanic and still nothing. This electrical short is causing the emergency lights, turn signals, and the brake lights are not working. This is of course dangerous and against the traffic law, if stopped by the traffic reinforcement this can result in a ticket and the inability to operate vehicle. Mechanic has still not figured out how to fix this issue and the next step is checking the wiring connected to the turn stick, within the dash. Hopefully the problem will be fixed soon and I will post updates on this. No fire will occur if the fuse is not replaced with a higher amp fuse, so please don't add anything higher than a 15 amp fuse.
