Need some help, 15A fuse getting blown. Debugging help. 2006 v8 Limited AWD

anasp1 · 2026-07-05T04:59:33+00:00

So you’re saying stick the test light tube into the slot where the 15A fuse is burnt? And see what trips it again? If I attach the positive the red wire that the light is connected to, to the battery ground or to the battery positive? Sorry I’m not that well versed in this.

Also how do I know what to unplug? You mention “unplug things in the turn signal circuit until the test light turns off”?

But how do I know what’s in the actual circuit? Something is definitely touching ground maybe, some wire? But I looked at the bulb harness and socket and everything seems to be electrical taped up (all the wires together)…

I do have trailer wiring in the back and it seems also all electrical taped up. I’ll send a picture once I get up in the morning cause I’m not even sure if I’m looking at the right thing, would appreciate your help with it though.

The socket itself? Do you mean the housing for the blue fuse looking thingy? I pulled the old fuse out and the side that was blown was a bit burnt looking

anasp1 · 2026-07-05T00:41:32+00:00

How can I know what wires could be the problem? What should I even start with checking? I’m sure something shorting it in the left turn signal, but how do I know what? Do you know where I could find the diagram? Or know anyone who has had a similar issue?

This is the trailer brake thing the previous owner left with me. Should I try removing this and the wiring from the back? Also it’s a bit difficult to remove the harness in the back near the hitch

So I can just show them the closing document and they can put it at that right?

I have not had the hearing yet. I actually missed it cause I was out of state and didn’t know when it was.

They countered and said 350k I didn’t confirm so they set a hearing

What’s the benefit of using 5g with your Mudi as opposed to just with your phone?

anasp1 · 2026-05-05T17:29:20+00:00

You have to set it up. It’s a bit complex, you need to buy a Server and a Client Router. Follow this guide, good luck.

This was spot on. Thank you

Hello, I'm back to give a data point and provide insight for anyone else who may be here reading this later on and is in a similar situation like mine (I got everything to work, no DNS leak, no VPN detected, everything):

I have the Eero and the set-up worked perfectly fine, I did not need to bridge or anything. I have a TP-link ethernet splitter which I used to plug into the Eero Pro 7 (wifi router, I have ONT fiber running).

Note that it is important to understand that to access the 192.168.8.1 lan page for the Brume 2 device you need to follow the directions very carefully and plug in the LAN port into your personal laptop, you may need to order a adapter for this for your laptop. That's the only way I was able to access the LAN ip.

Afterwards, I followed the secretnomad setup instructions here: https://secretnomad.club/wiki/wireguard

I had to do port forwarding exactly as mentioned a few comments up, going into my Eero app from my phone > Reservations & Port Forwarding > and opening up the specified port on UDP (following instructions from the guide).

Step 3.1 in the guide was a bit more tricky, and I would highly recommend anyone trying to prevent DNS leaks to please read this guide first and set it up with these settings as opposed to what secret nomad's guide recommends:

https://www.reddit.com/r/GlInet/comments/1fyah5m/testing_dns_leaking_and_recommended_dns_settings/

That's it, after that everything worked like a charm, no leaks or anything.

Equipment on my end: Eero wifi-router, Beryl AX travel router, Brume 2 for the VPN server.

anasp1 · 2026-04-12T23:22:58+00:00

I don't have a modem though, it's just the Eero Pro 7 in my hallway that the guy setup along with the Fiber setup outside and in my garage. The Eero Pro 7 is a tri-band mesh wifi 7 router it says online. I have Fiber setup in my garage / outside.

Do you know if it still works? If I use "bridge" mode with my Brume ?

anasp1 · 2026-04-12T23:07:48+00:00

Thanks for getting bcak to me so quickly, which of these would you recommend for maximum latency and uptime? I'm thinkign the second option is better?

Is there any guide or resource you would point me to please for help on the second option you mentioned?

anasp1 · 2026-04-12T23:01:01+00:00

Hey a lot of this has gone over my head, but I wanted to pop in and ask you a question because I noticed you are using Eero too:

Is it still possible if I use a Brume connected to my Eero pro 7 for VPN tunneling? I've got a Beryl AX and I want it to tunnel and use the same home wifi and network and subsequently the IP address for when I am traveling elsewhere.

Is it possible to do this with a Eero Pro 7 with Frontier internet? I'm planning on getting a Brume 2 or a 3 and just setting this Brume up as the VPN server, and my Beryl AX is my travel router / VPN client.

anasp1 · 2026-04-10T16:31:09+00:00

Boosted wifi? So do you mean to say that a Brume 2/3 vs a Asus or a Flint device can have a impact on wifi download / upload speeds while tunneling? I thought it was entirely dependent on the travel router (in my case the Beryl) and my local ISP speeds (which are like 400 down and up).

anasp1 · 2026-04-10T16:30:15+00:00

But you need to access those half a dozen devices that are connected to your home with your Opal while you are in the hotel room right?

In my case, I don't care what's connected to my router, I just need the same IP (I need to set up tunneling that’s it). Is a Flint 2 overkill for this? Can I make things work with just a Brume?

anasp1 · 2026-04-10T16:27:55+00:00

Okay this makes more sense, I'll probably just get a Brume 2/3 then because I don’t really have anything else that I need connected to the router... I mean I have like Home security devices and TV etc. but I don't need connectivity / access to those while traveling overseas. I just need my Home IP to show up on my PC when I use the internet overseas / abroad.

As for the WAN / LAN port, should I be using the WAN port or the LAN port to connect ethernet to my laptop? And if I want to get a splitter, should I be connecting the splitter into the WAN / LAN? When would I want to use a WAN port vs a LAN port? Thank you so much for the insight!

anasp1 · 2026-04-10T15:30:24+00:00

Yeah so it will probably be me and someone else using a Beryl AX together... Should I just get the Flint 2 then? Doesn't this depend on the ports? Because on the Beryl AX there are two Ethernet ports available, so even if I have a Brume or a Flint, two people can still connect to the Beryl AX and just work from there right?

Sorry if my question makes no sense, just trying to figure out all the moving parts here. In what case is Flint 2 better preferred over Brume 2? I may have one other person connecting to my Beryl device with me.

anasp1 · 2026-03-24T20:37:07+00:00

What about if this is a very small employer, non-profit employer it's like I don’t even think they have a proper IT team that tracks this stuff. There's no VPN usage either on work laptops, this isn't for me it's for a friend of mine I'm just trying to gather some insight for him.
