Hi. yeah yeah , I know..."not another new guy"..but cant help it ..these cars are to much fun...EXCEPT when the ugly electrical monster rears its sparky lil head....which he has in my 1990 convertible...Ill cut to the chase.

Consistently blows "illumi" fuse, in fact wont even take one, blows immediately upon turning on lights.

Symptoms: No tail lights or side markers. My brake lights are fine ,blinkers are fine,hazards fine just no running lights or reverse..Until i put a "short cut switch" i didn't have dash lights either. I cant seem to find a definitive answer on wire color codes nor info on the exact fuse to handle the tail or markers. Obviously the ILUMI is in charge but having hard time tracing to find a short....a

Any and i mean ANY help would be revered as a god like gesture.....(ie color wire codes, a good schematic that linked those said color codes....anything...

Thanks in advance....scotttco62.

best i can do is rec. you download this:

It's the s5 wiring specific manual by mazda, a lot better then the FSM, super technical, should help you if you know how to read diagram good.
