melted tail light fuse
Here's the problem, I got in my camaro last night and my gauge cluster lights didn't work or my brake lights. This afternoon I checked my fuse and it was melted. The fuse prongs were stuck in the fuse block and the yellow plastic fell out in my driveway. I understand what caused it to melt (prolonged heat without blowing the fuse) but where do I need to start looking for bald wires, bad grounds or anything else. Any help would be great as I'm trying to sale the car and really don't want a fire starting......btw this car is a 2000 v6.

get the hell out of here, i was having trans issues tonight(which i think was just low fluid and a dirty maf) and well on the highway testing it out, car now seems to be back to driving normal. So much so that i punch the gas, trans and everything didnt skip a beat and then bam i hear a pop and my lights are out... No problem,get home put a new fuse in and all seems to be ok till i turn on the parking light switch, pop goes the fuse.. So there is a short somewhere and by the looks so far its the tail light sockets shorted or i have see others with issues with shorted dimmer switch/switch that controls the parking lights as they are one unit... Just great, think i fixed my shitty shifting trans and now this crap.
