I keep blowing fuse's for my tail lights and my dash lightson my 75. It seems like the only time it would do it if I had all the mentioned lights on and would turn on my radio. That would make me think (possibly a bad ground on my radio). Any help would be appriciated.

The radio dial light comes off the dash light circuit. Does the fuse blow with the lights off and the radio on?

I forgot to mention that the radio is an after market JVC, but the dash light fuse also blows if I alter (tin foil) the tail light fuse to trouble shoot the problem. I'm still working the issue. I re-did the radio ground, and can run the radio and tail lights at the same time, but yet to try the dash/tail/radio all at once. Short a five amp fuse to put it at the moment. Will attempt to fix tomarrow.
Thanks for the info. Please keep it coming..

It is very common for folks to use the gray wire to the radio as a gound circuit. When checking the circuits that all it seems to do. It is really the dash light power for the radio. When used as a ground, it causes this problem. I have seen many wired this way.
