    OK we found the problem. EZ wiring has a special circuit for the headlights. If you leave your lights on the fuse in this circuit will blow after getting so hot. Well the fuse has really wide prongs and if you stick it any where else. It will over ride into another. Say in wipers it would touch the one beside it also. Putting juice into a couple circuits at a time. WOW took a while but that is the cause. It can be used only for that special headlight circuit. Thanks for the info and help. Figured someone might be able to use this also!

    Is that the position in the top right, where the Headlight Circuit Breaker plugs in? My EZ Wire kit came with the headlight circuit breaker in place, a small silver canister about 3/8"x3/4"x1/2"high? There's no fuse on the headlights, just the circuit breaker so that if you overload that circuit your lights will flash as the circuit breaker pops and resets, but you're not rolling down the road and suddenly have no headlights. That's my understanding of their system, anyway.
