1996 crown victoria keep blowing fuse and smoke

I would take it to a auto store and they can check your battery circuit for free to see what the problem could be they will hook up a tester that will check the circuit out.

If the fuse keeps blowing, you have a short circuit to a ground somewhere. The fuse protects the wiring from burning up. They, tool companies, make a short tester that takes the place of the fuse and buzzes when the short is present and stops buzzing when you move or locate the wire that is "shorted". Repair the wire that is touching a ground an the harness somewhere and then replace the fuse. Good luck, could be obvious like a coin stuck in the cigarette lighter or just some wiring someone has done recently.

hi,i would say the solenoid on your starter is faulty

Check the wires for the head light it most likely is the result of a short in one of the wires

with out knowing what you have for tools unplug different parts of the system and try another fuse like the compressor clutch the pressure switches and plug them back in one at a time til the fuse blows if you have a ohm meter check to see if any part is shorted to ground

The reason a fuse blowing may be because of a short circuit. And you should check any wire connectors that plug into the pc board.

have your blend motor checked and you blend door

Notorious for intake leaks, the composite plastic intakes crack and leak coolant-as to the lack of power, you mght have overheated it and done some damage to the engine. There was a recall (information below) for the 4.6 for the intake-the overheating and lack of power means you should at least have compression checked and go from there-you may have bad head gaskets or worse. Do a compression test before you do anything else.

Ford Motor Company will extend the recall (01M02) on 4.6L V8 equipped vehicles with plastic intake manifolds. Some of the composite intake manifolds used on 4.6L SOHC engines may develop fatigue cracks at the coolant crossover duct. This condition could result in engine coolant leakage which, if not serviced, may cause engine overheating. Complete loss of coolant may result in engine damage or engine failure.
The updated recall now includes:
• Certain 1996 through 2001 Model Year Crown Victoria Police Interceptor
• Certain 1998 through 2001 Model Year Crown Victoria with Taxi
• Certain 1998 through 2001 Lincoln Town Car Limousine and Livery Prep Package
• Certain 1996-2001 Crown Victoria Taxis, Police cars and Lincoln Town Car Limousine and Livery cars.
• Certain 1996 through 1997 Crown Victoria Police Interceptor Vehicles with 4.6L SOHC engines built at the St. Thomas Assembly Plant from the beginning of production for the 1996 Model Year through January 28, 1997.
• Certain 1998 through 2001 Crown Victoria Police Interceptor Vehicles with 4.6L SOHC engines built at the St. Thomas Assembly Plant from November 22, 1997 through December 15, 2000.
• Certain 1998 through 2001 Crown Victoria Taxi Vehicles with 4.6L SOHC engines built at the St. Thomas Assembly Plant from November 22, 1997 through December 15, 2000.
• Certain 1998 through 2001 Lincoln Town Car Limousine Prep Package and Livery Vehicles with 4.6L SOHC engines built at the Wixom Assembly Plant from November 22, 1997 through December 15, 2000.

Does it only blow blue smoke for a minute or so when first started? If yes, then it is most likely your valve guide seals. This is just an inconvenience not a huge problem. Check your oil level regularly and add as necessary. You probably won't even notice oil loss from this.
Thank you,

check your starter also check fuse
