Keep blowing fuses
Sunday, January 03, 2010 2:57 PM
Hi there

I'm a new member to your forum, my girlfriend just got a 93 Cavalier sedan for a winter beater but the fuse for the Interior lights and the horn keeps blowing. I tried removing the interior bulb to see if that was causing a problem but it keeps blowing the fuse as soon a i put it in. Any ideas as to what the problem may be?

Thanks in advance

Find a wiring diagram for both of those things. It will tell you where the grounds and hotts are. Being a 93, i would go arround cleaning grounds and checking for wire weathering anyway. If you cant find a wiring diagram go grab a hanes manual.

Need to find connector for each item on that circuit, unplug one than install a fuse, if it blows go to the next one, when you find one that you have unplugged and the fuse doesnt blow, you have narrowed down the issue, then check the wiring

You say it keeps blowing the fuse when you put the bulb "back" in. Have you tried a new bulb yet?
