Default 92 cx blowing fuse, short somewhere i know


Fuse 19(running lights, tail lights, cluster lights), which is associated with Option 2.

I keep blowing this fuse as of last night for some reason. I was making a turn and POP, **** blew for no apparent reason.

Theres a problem tho, i have fogs, and for some reason, the previous owner has the fogs and CD player hooked up all to option 2. So i have 4 different things associated with one 20 fuse. I tried a 30, still popped.

I understand i have a short, i think its weird because all i've done is removed the reverse light bulbs (one was burnt out i didnt have another one).

The point of this thread is for me to get suggestions on how to wire these things up individually.

Fuse 19 - running lights, tail lights, cluster lights
cd player - ?
fogs - ?

Well, thats not really my main problem right now. I have no trouble at fixing wiring problems, i've done it so many times. I just wanted suggestions on how to break up the load on fuse 19.

Option 1 is for the ACC. i'll probably put the cd player to that one.
Option 2 is for fuse 19
Option 3 & 4 is for battery. Do these LOSE POWER when the car is shut off?

The two left most option slots, the Battery ones, are those constantly powered? Or do they turn off with the ignition?

BUMP, anyone using the auxillary hook ups on the fuse panel?

My alarm is hooked up to the ACC Option.

UPDATE!

Disconnected the fog's at the bumper. Got a fuse in slot 19 and turned on the lights, everything came on.

Then i plugged in the auxillary plug to the optional slot for fuse 19, now my cd player works again!

Bottom line is that one of the connectors on the fog was touching the cross member. While disconnecting i accidentally ripped off the connector so i have to wait and hook these back up properly this weekend.
