Electrical problem
2002 Kia Sedona 6 cyl Automatic 131018 miles

Brake lights, and turn signal work. After replacing the bulb for the running lights, and reinstalling the light assembly to the body of the vehicle, it blows the fuse.

If the fuse didn't blow before you changed the blub then i would take the light assembley back make sure you didn't pinch or short any wire's.Also make sure you have the correct blub compare the old one to the new one or the other side.

Where do I check for wires that are pinched? I have taken the light assembly apart and found no wires out of place.

Which fuse is blowing?Was it blowing that fuse before you changed the bulb?Did you check and make sure you put the correct replacement bulb in compared to the old one?Do your brake light's and turn signal's still work after replacing the bulb?I was asking you to just check the wiring to the tail light you took out to make sure you didn't pinch any wire's.Which would have been an easy repair.Let me know the answer's to my question's so i can help you out.
