I have a 94 mustang with convertible top. Had top and top motor replaced. Ever since then, every time I turn the key on, it blows the fuse that controls the reverse lights, signal lights, and convertible top. All same fuse. Question is, how do I trace the problem, or just disconnect the top motor? Because I’m convinced that’s where the issue is. I don’t know how to disconnect it without removing the fuse, which will still leave my issue of not having signal lights. Please help. And I do not have any special tools, sooo, looking for a easy temporary fix. NOTE: One day I was able to get the fuse to last long enough to get the top down, had to aluminum foil the fuse to get it to close, when I did that, it started smoking from under the dash on the passenger side. Thank you in advance.

 

you want the quick way or the slow way to find it?

 

the quick way for now.

 

put a bigger fuse in there. Whichever wire starts smoking first the problem, or at least pointing to it.

But yeah, sounds like you have a short to ground. Whether it is a wire, or that new part you had put on. You could try unplugging the new part and see if it stops popping the fuses.
