98 chevy tahoe parking lamps aren't working. I changed the fuses every time I turn the lamps on the fuse blows out. I also smell a burnt smell.

your battery is most likely too powerful

if you're blowing a fuse the only thing that makes them blow is a short circuit. You have to check your wiring from the lamps to the switch just. 1st place to look but is anywhere those wires go by metal, like the frame. Good luck.

I agree with the man above. You have a short someplace. Check the wiring from your lights to the switch.

attempt to find a short in the wire..check the lens, it may be cracked and water is to get inside causing a problem.

The only thing that can do this is a short to ground.Please go to your local chevy dealership.They will find the short and fix the problem.Best of luck with your tahoe.

take a look at your traier harness in thr rear,very common for these to short out,and blow fuses and /or headlight swithces

There is a hot wire shorting out some were to the body. I got a 96 caprice and it kept blowing the fuse to the fuel pump. It was the wires in the back underneath the car they shorted out to the body. Check your wires going to the headlights, I will bet its out there.
