Heck no, that's riggin'! Since it's only one side I would think it would be fairly easy to run down. Has anybody been doing any rewiring back there? I worked on a GT where the owner wasn't paying attention and swapped the ground wire and the hot wire on the front turn signals on a GT. The flashers didn't stay on long enough to blow the fuse but they caused a heck of an amp draw when they flashed and blew the fuse when the lights were turned on.

I've not started working on my Ascona yet so I'm not all that familar with it yet. Could something in the trunk have pinched a wire and caused a short?
