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. |

Found it!!!
A complete day of seach and this morning BAM! I remove the wire one by one after fuse #9. Came back to black/yellow (to brake switch) wire and that big red/white wire (to emergency flasher switch) that would heat up fuse #9 pretty bad. Took me the day (on & off) to trace. Then this morning i start rethink of what happend on that day when it all started. Night before had a little rain. Got in the car, started it and put the fresh air blower on. did about a mile and fuse went in smoke. Humm, fresh air blower, fresh air blower... Fresh air blower was in position 2 this morning... I put it to off, plugged the battery and no more fuse #9 heating up. Put the blower back on and it heats up the fuse. All this should be on fuse #8 but for me it's number that burns... (wtf!!!) So at least i'm car happy again and stopped looking at that 993. |
