Hi,
Dunno what is happening but fuse # 9 keeps blowing out. This happens almost as soon as i start the car. i can let it on accessory and everything is fine. As soon as i start the car, #9 goes up in smoke... # 9 controls the turn indicators, stop lights & reverse lights. I've also wired the fuel pump for my carburators on this fuse. It's been like this for years. Everything was fine. Now this started happening yesterday. I'm kinda clueless as for how I should trace what is going on. |

Remove the wires "downstream" of the fuse. Put a new fuse in the holder, plug in one of the wires and duplicate the conditions under which the fuse blows. Add the next wire, retest. When you get to the wire that blows the fuse, find out what it powers and fix the problem. Might be well to have a number of spare fuses readily available. The Cap'n
