get a schematic of what is is all connected in that circuit. i bet you have a bad ground somewhere

 

Could have a bad relay.

 

Ok...man thanks for you help

 

Nobody has any answers for me

 

Some how too much power is running through that wire, causing the fuse to blow. Either that or you have the wrong amp fuse in there.

 

Yea, are you positive thats the right amperage for that circuit?

 

one person suggested a schematic for that problem. if you have the schematic start pulling connectors on the cicuit. if the fuse blows when you have that connector dissconnected the go to the next.. once the fuse does not blow with the connector dissconnected then your problem is in that connection. if you dont know how to read a schematic then you are SOL. dont feel bad though. 99% of the people on HT dont.

 

try looking at the starter power wire, check if it's no touching/groundng on anything else.. same thing happened to me long time ago, couldn't figued it out for a long time... i hope this helps out...

 

Blown fuse = bad ground or short. Look for damaged wiring. Installed any electrical accessories lately?

A bad ground will not cause a fuse to blow unless that ground was hooked up to 12 volts.
He probably has a short somewhere.

yes it will. an inconsistent ground will cause a voltage spike and has the potential to blow a fuse.

there was a customer's car last week that kept blowing fuses when i was looking at it. i took the dash apart and found aftermarket radio/cd player wires that were not grounded right. grounded them right and the fuses stopped blowing.

"he probably has a short somewhere"..
well um, a SHORT and intermittent connection (bad ground) are often considered the same thing.

Okay...what's the last thing you've done to the car? Have you installed anything like a piggyback ecu?

This fuse also connects to the fuel pump, so maybe something is shorting back there too.

This stuff usually doesn't just happen for no reason, something in the circuit has changed...usually by human error too. If you honestly haven't touched a thing, then it's time to start the hunt for a bad part of the circuit, not fun.

I probably have a schematic for it around somewhere, but it's for a 95 GSR and might be different than the obd-2 stuff.

 

yeah, hunting for bad parts of the circuit.. like broken wire, sucks.

that would call for a digital voltmeter or a testlight

 

If you could send me the schematic. That would be helpful. I am taking the car down to the shop today. I havent installed anything lately.

THANKS FOR EVERYONES HELP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Thanks again I got her running. It was a bad ground wire on my EGR valve.

 

what did i say
