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. |

hopefully, the problem, where ever it is, is constant. Then just operate controls one by one and then look at the fuse until you find the item that blows it. When I had this problem it was signaling a left turn that blew the fuse. I traced the circuit back to the emergency flasher which had a stray tab shorting to the dash frame.
Also look for loose wires like a reverse light wires on the gearbox or engine compartment light wires, etc. Also look where you worked last - fuel pump. I'd also measure the current you got going thru that circuit to see if the fuse is sufficient. good luck |
