Friends, continuously blowing fuse S9 on 1974 2.0. Any suggestions?

Thanks

From what fuse would I wire up my radio from?

Most radio installs had a in-line fuse holder on the 12+ radio wire, connected to un-fused, switched 12+ buss on plate. Use 5A or less fuse !

Dear Jeff, what might make that fuse blow each time I start the car??

Thanks

Gregory

I'm not Jeff, but I driven with him!


I'd look for a broken wire and if you cannot find one then remove bulbs and start putting them back in.

Have you replaced a bulb lately? Correct bulb? Nothing broke or twisted when installing it?

If S9 blows every time you turn your headlights (or just parking lights) on, look for license plate lights that have been wired backwards... Yes, the ground/power does matter!

Also, those license wires are known to be a PITA and can easily short where they pass thru the rear panel (missing grommet) or where the little spade connectors short out against the bumper.
