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. |

BTDT.
I found my short in the right rear brake light assembly, which led to a complete rebuild on both buckets ('cause I was there). Turned out every time I wanted to use the brakes that fuse failed, but I didn't connect the dots until after pulling the car half apart and finding it. It's one of those projects that had me cursing my bad luck that whole day of troubleshooting. The good part about a BS project like that is you really get to know your car... Anyway, is it vital to run the pump off the fuse box? I'm running off my coil, should I add a fuse in line? |
