Fuse number 12 burns trouble shoot

The fuse number 12 with amp 15 gets burned when I try to start the car.

The car doesnt crank over. I figured it is the solenoid, or starter... but the fuse burns.

The car is pretty much all taken apart. It was going to get a paint job, then somebody busted the ignition cylinder in order to take the car, but it had a kill switch. After that we couldnt start the car. So, I remove the kill switch, and replaced the ignition cylinder from a 1991 civic.

I am trying to trouble shoot and figure out why it doesnt start.

fuse number 12 - it should be integrated control unit, hatch light, dome light, ignition switch, clock, radio, cigarette lighter.

Since the dash is removed there isnt a clock, radio, cigarette lighter, and dome and hatch light is also taken out.

Trying to figure out if there is a short somewhere... is it possible that it Is a relay issue?

What is the best way to trouble shoot?

Check the stereo wires.




The no crank is a separate problem. Test the battery.

Thank you for your input. It doesnt burn the fuse all the time. I think there is a short in one of the wires. The battery is also bad, and I also think the starter is bad. I am going to try another battery, and replace the starter... and take it from there.

you said everything is taken apart, I bet a loose wire is grounding somewhere.
