Need Help! Blowing Fuse 15 on a 97 EX
I have a 1997 Civic EX coupe. I am having problems with fuse 15. I am well aware of the TSB about wires rubbing on the intake manifold bracket causing them to short. Here's a bit of a recap of what I've done:
After first having the problem, I looked at the wires above the bracket to find no damaged wires. I wrapped a few of them in electrical tape, did not solve the problem.
Later I took a closer look at all the wires, no damaged ones found. I wrapped the everything that I could find in tape. still did not solve the problem.
Today, I tried again verifying the wires under above the bracket, and by re-wrapping all of the major connection points around the bracket. No luck. I left the bracket off, no luck, kept blowing the fuse. I unplugged my oxygen sensor, still blew the fuse. Unplugged the speed sensor, and still blew the fuse.
It takes about a quarter mile for the fuse to blow when I put a new one in. Any other suggestions on what the problem could be??

If you install a new fuse 15, reset the ECU to clear CEL codes, and drive the car, does the CEL come on before fuse 15 blows? If so, what is the code?
