Saturday I had to adjust the brake light switch on the Corvette, the next day on my way out to eat I realize I now have no clock/radio or power mirrors.  Checked the manual and found the 10 amp fuse needed was blown, so I replaced it.  Today I ran the car to the mall and still had no radio or power mirrors, pulled the same fuse and found it blew again.  Replaced it with my last 10 amp fuse back at the garage and -- yep you guessed it -- blew the third fuse immediately.  I don't even know where to start tracing this, never had an electrical problem before. Help!

if you didn't have the problem before adjusting the switch that would be the first place to look. you may have bumped a wire causing it to short out. btw..is the brake switch on the same circuit as that may be the culprit. 

The radio and the p/mirrors are on the same fuse circuit. The brake light switch is not protected by a fuse.
Your problem will be in either the radio, or p/window circuit.
Chances are, you may have gotten a wire out of place while adjusting the brake switch, and it is indeed touching something, and blowing the radio fuse. Look up under there and see if you have a brown wire hanging, or looks out of place. It may even be caught between the brake pedal and the support, causing the blown fuse syndrome.
I have to assume this problem wasn't there before you worked with the brake switch?

No, I did not have this problem before I adjusted the brake switch.  That's why I mentioned it, I thought that's just too much of a coincidence.  What exactly should I be looking for "out of place" under there?  I'm learning more all the time but to me the electrical system might as well be magic 

A brown wire that looks like its melted somewhere!

I'd say just look around the area that you were in, and see if there actually is a brown wire around the brake pedal/switch, or around the steering column, that might just be loose, or have a bare spot on it, and touching anything metal.
It may very well be a co-winky-dink that this happened at the same time...you know that there is never a time when the car is "finished". Any time you fix one thing, something else will pop up...

If you can, take a few photos of the area around the brake pedal/switch area, and post them so we can all have a look-see...we might see something you missed...might not.

As far as electrical stuff being "magic", I'll let ya in on a little trade secret, if you promise not to tell...
All those little wires you see in/around your car are really just hollow tubes. The insides of these tubes is filled with smoke. If one of them touches something it's not supposed to, the plastic that the tubes are made of melts, and all of the smoke comes out. That's when the item that tube is connected to quits working...


sorry....I just couldn't help myself!!!Adams' Apple2007-03-29 19:42:52

Hmmm... I've also heard that if I remove my valve covers, all the hamsters turning wheels in that there engine block will escape!  So how do I get them back in??

I may still poke around tonight so I'll let you know what (if anything) I find under there... the wiring, that is

Ya gots tuh shove them little fellers up in da tail-pipe, and push them back up there with a water hose...

I don't see anything unusual under there.  I snapped some pics but I don't think they'll help much.  Man it's a tight squeeze -- especially with a light and a camera!

The radio and p-mirrors have the brown wire(s) going to them for 12v+, coming from the fuse box. This would be the wire(s) that probably have the short. It's either that, or your radio, or p-mirrors have shorts in them.
I'll have a closer look at your pics later, to see if there is anything I can see...I do see one brown wire with a white stripe that is touching the brake pedal support now. Could be that one...
