Choke fuse keeps blowing.
:Also posted in Carb section:
The fuse keeps blowing and the wires in the engine compartment to the choke are in good condition. I noticed it all started around the time I put a carb cleaner additive in my fuel. But for some reason I don't believe a fuel additive can blow a fuse. Any ideas?

Re: Choke fuse keeps blowing.
I found behind the fuse box the wire was melted. But I cant tell if its melted deep behind the dash but the worst of it is behind the box. I am going to replace much of the wire as I can get to which is only about 5 inches but its the only exposed wire that I can see. Can this short melt the wire evenly?

Re: Choke fuse keeps blowing.
Well i replaced as much of the melted wire as I can possibly could get to and its still shorting. To go any farther the dash my have to come out. I think this time its going to a professional. I just hate having to deal with the dash.
