Can someone tell me where to start please?  2007 1/2 chev dually with hauler bed, 2004 four star with 8ft shortwall.  I put LED lights on the rear of the trailer.  The problem is there is a fuse on the truck for the left side brake and turn signal that keeps blowing, knocking out the brake and turn signal for the truck as well as the trailer.  When the trailer is not hooked up or our bumper pull is hooked up and plugged in theres no problem.  It seems like it has become more frequent as now I can replace the fuse and as soon as the trailer (7 plug) is plugged in it will blow the fuse.  But the only one that's having problems with is that side.  Before I put the LED's on the trailer of course it was never a problem.  Any ideas??? The right side has never had a problem...Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Sounds like a short on the left sidetrailer light you installed. Take the light apart and retrace your wires for that side.

I/2 dually????

I thought it was idiot proof.  All I had to do was unplug the old ones and plug in the new ones.  Go figure..

Check your ground on the tail light that you installed.

Well, I went out and took the led's off the side that keep blowing the fuse and put them on the other side one at a time to see what would happen.  I couldnt get it to blow the fuse on that side.  I then put the ones from the good side on the side that kept blowing all the time one at a time.  So far so good.  The wires look ok, just made sure I pushed the plugs in good.  Let you know if it blows later.  thanks for all the suggestions..
