Fuse keeps blowing in 2001 ford explorer sport.

All of a sudden, the 15a fuse (for the taillights and entire dashboard) blows when changed

    Thanks! It seemed to have worked! I put in a 25A.

Fuse #11 Keeps blowing

Start looking at the alternator replacement... I would go directly back to the shop that performed the work..ask nicely, then demand, then CALL THE BBB... they did something..left a wire loose, (not tight).. something.. Remember - it started the moment you drove off their lot!!!

2001 ford explorer sport keeps blow fuel pump fuses

The most common cause of this is that the fuel pump is drawing to much current due to wear and a possible burned fuel tank connector at the tank. To replace the pump you must raise the truck up and remove the fuel tank. Also replace the fuel filter which is on the inside of the frame on the drivers side. Use a rag to cover the fuel line when disconnecting it with the required special tool.

I keep blowing the same fuse. under the hood how can i find where the short is?? It the fuse for the dashboard lights and tail lights?? Dashboard lights for sure.

do you have a tow hitch? if so start at the wiring for the tow package usually corrode and short out the lights. if you don't have tow package harness at the back then i would be looking at the front side marker light wiring, if dash lights are effected it means problem is in the park lights only.

The dash and tail lights are on the same circuit. Ck your fuses under inst or tail, More than likely it is a fuse. If the new fuse blows, let me know.

Keep blowing fuse for rear taillights and dashboard lights

Sounds like loose wires. Had a similar problem with my 03 Durango. Kept blowing fuses when I put them in. Came to find out my trailer wiring harness had fried and was shorting out.

My 2001 ford explorer dashboard and tail light went out and keep blowing all fuses that are used

sounds like a wire is touching a ground. famus for doing it at the parking lights. try to see if you find a bare live wire in the trailer harness if you have one.

Your experience?

first of all you have to find out what is all on that circuit; I do not recommend you replacing this with a fuse higher then called for!
do you have an amp or after market radio? if you do then disconnect this and see if the fuse doesn't blow
Not finding what you are looking for?
