We recently took our 2001 Chrysler Pt Cruiser in the shop for a state inspection for renewal of our license plates. In the process, the vehicle kept blowing 40 amp fuses. After 3 hours of searching. The "electrical short" was located "on both sides" of the front headlights". When the "high beams" were used it would blow a fuse. This sounds strange?? one side maybe?? but both headlights?? this should be a "factory recall". You can not use your "high beams" when driving?? could cost a loss of life. The shop charged me $225. 00. It should have been fixed by the factory!!.

While driving my turn signals and windshield wipers stop working. Took it in to the dealer and they said it was a blown fuse. They replaced the fuse and away we went. This has happened 3 times altogether within the last 2 months, and the dealer can't find the problem. What actions do I take next? this is a safety hazard when I have to turn signals or wipers especially when it is raining.

During a rain storm and while driving on the center lane of a three lane highway I turned on my signals and my wipers and the fuse blew because both are on the same circuit. This does not give a driver the opportunity to signal to others while trying to pull off the road because he can dot see due to the rain. I think the signals should be shared with the radio circuit. That way when the fuse blows and you no longer hear your radio that means you no longer have signal lights either. Or put each important device on its own fused circuit.
