CTSY fuse keeps blowing

[longstand]

I'm not sure. The company that I work for also owns an auto garage. I think they pay x dollars a month for the service. I just remote into thier server and play, look up prices, repair/estimate/tsb notes, etc.


Hey man, don't tell too many people about that. Jammie Thomas just got nailed $1.5million for downloading 24 songs on her third trial last week. Fines for downloading one single item (song/program/****, etc) in the US range from $750 to $150,000. If you got it, cool, use it. But don't advertise.

Cool, now we gotta get that red hot nail out of your fuse box. That shit will start fires!

Any luck tracking down the shorted wire?

I took a little look at it today. Cig lighters work but they're on a different circuit. I might take out my headlight switch and see if it still blows

Taken all lights out, and have tried to chase the orange wire under the dash and it still blows instantly..

#3 is hot at all times. Have you tried disconnecting the individual components?try with a DMM, one probe on each component side positive feed and the other on the orange wired teminal on the fuse block(the one that fuse passes power to) and also try same probe on ground with each component. The first way you should have continuity the second none. I t should isolate it for you.

Well guys, after many long months, I've finally found the problem and fixed it!

Turns out the heat from the sun had melted the wires above the headliner and the screws from the dome light were holding/putting pressure on the wires and holding them against the metal in the roof so the bare wires were touching the metal. I remedied the situation by taking a very small hose, sticking the entire length of wire up there in it, hopefully preventing this situation from ever happening again.

Who would have though? hahaha

Good to hear. Wonder how much longer before your 4wd is working.
