Any current above the 20 Ampere will cause the fuse to trip. Any shortage where in the cable, where in the car could cause this. You really should use a multimeter and a diagram, to look where the wire is going and what is connected.
This questions looks like I feel sick, what illness do I have.
The doctor will say, visit me and I do a diagnose.
Same with this, only looking in the car, using the correct tools and schematics can help finding what is wrong.

SOURCE: clock and side mirrors

The fuse block is usually under the dashboard, as well as additional fuse box under the hood. Your owners manual would give u that info, if u don't have one, it can be purchased @ Lexus site, don't know how much though. If fuses aren't labeled as u say, just pull them out 1 at a time and check to see which one is burned out. An auto parts store would probably help u locate the fuse box under the dash, (which is where I think the blown fuse is) they want to sell parts, and offer a lot of free services to customers such as testing components, installing wipers etc. good luck countrycurt0

SOURCE: The following lights came on:VSC TRAC, VSC OFF, Airbag.

You have a short in your system. Most likely from the fuse you replaced you are going to have to trace wires and figure out exactly where the short is located and replace the wiring.

SOURCE: where is fuel pump on

almost every fuel injected vehicle has the electric fuel pump in the gas tank, many require that the tank be loosened from the car but some have access panels under rear seat/trunk or fender to get to them. they are not always fused...

2006 Mitsubishi Lancer, gauge fuse keeps blowing. Have replaced the fuse twice, first time it was fine for a week but now it blows after a few minutes of driving...anysuggestionso

I would normally say to replace with a higher amp fuse, from a 15 to a 20. But it's possible you have a short somewhere in your system, grounding a power wire. A higher amp fuse could cause that grounded wire to overheat and burn making smoke. First thing to do is to check the ground wire(white)where connected to the firewall under dash and make sure they are clean and tight, for a good connection. The power may be backfeeding and causing the fuse to pop because of a week ground.

My radio in my 1993 3000 gt won't give out any sound. a tech checked the fuse inside the car but isn't there one under the hood?

there is a fuse box under the hood, the radio along with cigarette lighter & possibly the interior light are on the same fuse,if these things are still working then the fuse may not be the problem,it depends what fuses the tech checked,some radios have a line fuse in the power wire to the radio you need to check there as well, you may have to take the radio out to do this.....hope this helps.....cheers

I need to replace fuses so i would need the fuse map to do so

louiseme: your fuse box is on the driver's side of the car under the dash. Usually there is a cover to show what circuits go where.
However, if you do not have a cover I will do my best to orient you to the box and what fuses serve what circuits.
Your box is made up of two rows of fuses , 7 on each side.
In looking at it you will see the left row will have three 15 amp, one 25 amp, one 20 amp and 0ne 15 amp fuse.
The right side will have: five 15 amp and two 20 amp fuses.
On the right side the top 15 amp fuse is the left head light, next 15 amp fuse below it is the right head lamp. The 15 amp fuse below it is for the tail lamps and dome lamps. 15 amp below that is stop lights and horn. 15 below is hazard, 20 is door locks , 20 radio and cigar
On the left, top 15 amp is ign coil and meters, 15 below is turn signals and back ups, 15 below is wiper washer, 15 below rear defog, 25 amp below heater, 20 amp below AWAL, 15 amp below is FI. Beyond this I need more specifics about your problem to help you
