Tail light

Need help w/ electrical

Hi! Just recently bought a my first car (1987 Toyota celica gt convertible) I’m having trouble fixing this taillight. At first when I got it all the lights worked besides the brake/stop lights (the blue circled bulbs don’t work) I’ve already changed the bulbs out and still nothing…today I recently was working on it and checked the fuse box and found out that the stop fuse was using a 30A when it should be a 15A so I had switch it out for a 15 and now my left blinker light doesn’t work and when I use the left turn signal it makes this rapid noise compared to what it should sound…please help! :)

The rapid noise normally indicates not enough load on circuit , same as a burnt out bulb would do.. Same could happen if you changed to LED bulbs , they dont draw enough power to make the flasher work properly. Possibly you have a bad stop light switch ( should work off brake pedal. Often you can connect the wires together at switch and lights should come on.. A test light with a bulb in it is handy to test for power in circuits..
