Re: crank fuse keeps blowing

Do you have the right (amp) fuse for the job? Double check all the wires to make sure you did not miss something.

I'm having the same issue. It doesn't blow every time i start, but it has blown twice in the course of a month.

Re: crank fuse keeps blowing

i found the problem. the wires that go to the starter, one of them melted in half from the headers, so i fixed that and i have a starter shield on the way. so far no more blown fuse.
