so the civic keeps popping the 7.5 amp fuse #15. I read the service bulletin about the fix. i pulled the wiring harness all apart and the wires look fine. alternator wire looks fine. no breaks or cracks in any of the wires.

Took out alternator and battery to get tested they both tested out just fine.

So i retaped everything back up popped in a new fuse and still pops

Any other ideas?

Along with fuse 15 popping, are you also getting any of the accompanying CEL codes (VSS, O2 sensor, or ELD) mentioned in the TSB?

RedneckRicer

Nope Not a single CEL

Former User

Is turning the key to ON(II) sufficient to blow fuse 15? Or do you have to start the engine and drive the car? Does it blow quickly or does it take some time?

RedneckRicer

just turn the key on and the fuse blows

Former User

Unplug the connectors for the alternator, VSS, and both O2 sensors (see below). Does this prevent fuse 15 from blowing?

RedneckRicer

i will have to check that one out. i did not try that. so i will try that and report back.

mvtck

the wire rubs on the top of the bracket from intake to the block. should be right at the connector

RedneckRicer

which wire are you referring to that rubs? cause i didnt see any rubbing on the wires.

Former User

He's talking about the wires discussed in the TSB.

RedneckRicer

mvtck

I am also having the same fuse 15 problem, I also took a look at all my wires, look good. Good battery and alternator. But I am getting an O2 sensor cel. I must drive the car to blow the fuse and it usually blows within a quarter mile. Any ideas?

Former User

Read this TSB.

pvt.horta

Mine is doing the same thing it takes a couple mins to blow I stepped up to a 15 amp it blew that too any ideas ?

Former User

Bad idea - fire hazard and risk of frying the wires.

Did you read the thread? Click the Fuse 15 link in my signature.

Oh ok the link wouldn't work the first time for me it did then . So this is a common thing huh ? Is there any particular spot where it rubs ?

Former User

Read the TSB and then go from there.
