i have an 89 iroc all power. i blew a fuse about 3 days ago. it was the accs. fuse. so i went to replace it and as soon as i put the new one in i popped it. i tried it again an i saw the litle spark and it pooped. so i know theres a short some where but i don't know where. heres a run down that doesn't work- power locks,trunk release switch,ciggratte lighter, dome light, map lights, lights by your feet. the only thing that works is my electric windows, thank ***. i'm kinda curios to see which fuse the power windows are on. any advice would gretly thanked. and how do i go about finding this short

 

Power windows have their own fuse. In my experience, 99 percent of the time it's the cig. lighter causing the short.

 

thats what i was kinda thinking, cause its allways been a little tricky to get to work, sometime works and sometimes doesn't wanna work at all. gotta play with it a lil bit. would a local part store a have a new one or would I need to go to the dealer for that one.

 

Local parts store should have one. Unhook the wires to the lighter and try a new fuse to make sure that is the problem.

 

I would go to a junk yard to get one, but thats me. Yeah, take the cig lighter out and I bet the fuse dosent blow anymore.

 

Sorry to bring back a zombie thread, but this is where I found the answer- apparently- to my problem.
I started blowing fuses for the door lock/mirror/interior light circuit. When I found this thread, I followed the suggestion and disconnected my cigarette lighter- it is a hanging offense in California anyway- and so far, problem solved!

 

Nevermind, it blew the fuse again...

 

all the same things happen to my 2.8 rs but the fuse does not blow just when the car warms up im going to try the ciggarette lighter also with three different things
