hey guys, i just bought my first camaro, it's a white 86 IROC-Z and i have a problem with the acc fuse. i dont know where the problem is but when i try to put in a new fuse it gets blown instantly. now i want to try something but i dont know if it's safe. i want to put a small stip of aluminum foil around a blown fuse.i want to know what you guys think about this. please reply thanx

this is what i'm talking about

 

you really should not do that, unless you want an electrical fire.

if you are blowing fuses, it is because there is a wire shorting out, acc fuse controls your dome lights and radio and several other systems.

get yourself a book (haynes is fine) and try to hunt down the short, it's the only way to fix your problem.

I seem to remember that autozone.com offers some free wiring diagrams, so you might want to check that out.

 

i would try and find the short before i heat it up and burn a connector or wire by doing the foil thing,unhook some of things on the acc circuit,does it have and aftermarket stereo ?if so i'd start there

 

Yeah, that's a bad idea to do if the fuse is blowing. If it continually blows, then there's something wrong with the circuit. Removing the fuse will just make whatever problem you have worse and is very unsafe. find out everything that is on that circuit and remove things one by one until it doesn't blow, or trace all wires and look for the problem. A real common reason for blown fuses stems from the cigar lighter, not sure if it's on that circuit or not. Try removing it and see if that helps.

 

you mean like unpluging it?. so where can i find all the plugs for all these accesorys.
