Ok, so I have suddenly gotten the problem of when my car is running and I turn the headlights on it pops one of the 20amp fuses and the car dies on the spot. Any responses would be nice. Am I looking at a voltage regulator? I have class tomorrow in the afternoon and i have to drive to Salem.

Thanks in advance,
Seth

No, it's not the voltage regulator. Sounds like you have got a big, serious short circuit in your wiring. I sincerely wish you good luck in finding and fixing it.

ok, fun stuff I noticed that my amp meter was sparking a little last night, can I bypass the gauge all together, and if so how so? I already know that the needle is in the center all the time. A lot of my electrical problems have been due to the amp meter one way or another and I'm kinda tired of it.

First investigate if the connections to amp gage can be made fast, or rather tight; double nutting may be necessary. If not able to repair, pull off both leads from amp gage, and tightly nut & bolt them together. Than tape that connection up real good so it dose not ground out on anything.

Ok, the problem is specific to the headlights, park lights work fine, but when its running and I put the headlights on all the way I am popping 30 amp fuses. What should I check? Headlight switch? Dimmer switch? Oh and when I would press the dimmer switch sometimes the low beams wouldn't come back on, just trying to tell you guys everything that is wrong.

Nevermind I found it. One of my headlight switch wires had rubbed partially and was touching metal. Thanks for the help guys
