My wife's V8 has blown fuse #4, which covers the radio,  front cigar
lighter, trunk lights, interior lights, "air conditioner" clock, radiator
cooling fan low speed, board computer, etc.  twice now.  First time, she
had a tape in the tape player and I thought maybe something else came on
just as the tape drew power and the fuse was tired, etc. etc.  But a month
later, fuse blew again with no radio use at all, so it must be something
else.  I inspected the trunk wiring because I remember the harnesses to
that area in the 4kq and 5kq cars failed frequently, but the wiring to the
trunk lid looks a lot more flexible and doesn't show any signs of wear on
the wrapping.  Has anybody had the wiring to the trunk break down at the
hinge in a V8 like they used to in the prior models?
