I am driving myself crazy trying to find out whats wrong with my electrical system.

Right now the headlights work (ive never had.a problem there) but
i have no tail lights no brake lights no hazards and only a left turn signal

I changed all the fuses and only blow the taillight fuse on a REGULAR BASIS.

I had taillights the other night but after a short ride they blew out as well

I have taken the car in to a shop 3 times and when they fix it the light work for a week and then kablowee.

What can i do???
I want to drive the car but i need trhe lights to work

Please help me with any advice possible

Thanks

I think I would check the wires in the flat harness that runs from the dash, back under the rear seat-under the carpet and into the trunk.

Tail lights, brake lights, and hazards all use the bulbs on the right rear side. You might try to replace the right rear bulbs with new ones. Maybe the 1157 brake light bulb is shorting out or water is in the socket housing.

Was anything changed in the wiring before the fuses started to blow?

I'm with Dean, sounds like an intermitant short to ground ?
