Does anyone have any ideas on why I keep blowing the ignition fuses? the car ran fine, it sat for a couple months, and now won't start. PLEASE HELP.

 

Year and engine size? What is the fuse number that blows? Is the fuse underhood or inside car?

 

thank you, it has 3.0 engine 6 cylander, do't know the fuse # but it is under the hood, 3rd one from the left on the bottom row. hope that helps

 

I'm assuming it's a 1992?

Do either of these pics show the fuse that is blowing?

It's the bottom one image. yes, it's a 92. It's definatly fuse #51. i'm not sure about 52,53,55, some one took them out too.

 

Good, no guarantees we'll get it fixed but we'll try.

Answer these questions and I will go over some wiring diagrams tonight.

1. With the key "OFF" does the fuse blow right away when you install a new one?

2. Does the fuse blow ONLY when you turn the key to "ON"?

3. Does the fuse blow ONLY when you turn the ket to "START"?

 

to start

 

Well, looked at the wiring diagrams and this fuse is really only used when the key is in the "on" position. So, could be a short in the ignition switch or it's wiring. Make double sure we are talking about fuse 51 and when you replace fuse 51 are you installing a 50 amp Maxi-fuse?
Most of my experience with blown Ign fuses turns out to be bad starters..but this appears to be a little different.[sm=bangbang.gif]

 

I'm sorry, It blows as soon as you put the key in . I was wondering if you could e'mail me a copy of the wiring diagram? peanutmommy5@msn.com. Thank you so much
