blowing fuse every time key turns
This just started yesterday and I was wondering if anyone could help. I was driving and blew my gagues fuse. I didn't think anything of it at first because I have only had to replace it once. I replaced the fuse and minutes later it blew again. Since then I've been trying to diag it but I can't seem to figure it out. Please help someone.

After giving up for a while i finally found the stem of my issue. the wires to my cigg lighter were frayed and arcing. I ripped them down and patched them up and havent had a single problem since. Stupid pink and black wire.

Re: blowing fuse every time key turns
Thanks everyone for your help especially sofakingdom, problem solved,as some side also maybe simple,had a good neighbor with the right know how and right jacks to get it off the ground and on jackstands and blocked,simple backtrack from battery and to starter,without a whole lot of typing, the issue ended up being the power connection from the solenoid to the starter ,connection was corroded and rusty,cleaned it up reattached and boom the ol 305 roared to life after 2 years,gave her a good bath ,seems to be running on 7 cylinders under a load,but smooth at idle,so that's another issue, and these dang new rain x wiper blades don't want to fit the single pin,on it,smh ,but at least she cranks!
