Blown Fuse

Well the fuse that has all the interior electronics i.e. dome light, cd player, power locks, blew out on me. So i bought a set and put the new one in. And it just sparked and also blew. I tried again same thing. So i unplugged the battery put one in plugged the battery back in and it blew again. So im down to 1 fuse and would not like 2 waste it anybody know what im doing wrong. Thanks.

This reminds me of a bug zapper. Zap...let's try again....zap....let's try again. j/k


If they keep blowing it is probibly something shorting out. What, I have no idea. Did you have a radio put in recently? If so I would start there.

Was the factory harness cut and the new radio wire tied, electrical taped, crimped etc. together? I would say something came loose and is shorting out on a peice of melt or another wire under there. If you have the know how I suggest soldering the wires and putting some shrink tubing on them.
