The vehicle keeps blowing a 10 amp fuse, which takes out the dash instrumentation and the ignition. Mazda have had the vehicle for 15 days and still can't find the problem. Frustrated.

  • Anonymous May 11, 2010

    how long does it take for the fuse to blow?
    connect a multi meter & see if the load more than 10 amps.
    test the connection to ground to see if there in a short somewhere?
    have you installed any new items like an audio system?

My 92 S-10 keeps popping a 15amp fuse which keeps it from starting

I don't see any 15 amp fuses in the start or ignition/injector circuits. Maybe someone jacked it up 5 amps or it isn't in my diagram. I see ECM B and ECM1 both 10 amp circuits. Which fuse is blowing? If you use comment it will show up in my email. I hope this helps. Take care.

02 Bonneville, at first the tire pressure monitor had a line of dashes, next day the abs, anti-lock, and brake light were on. Blowing the abs fuse that is under the seat. Not giving any codes. Put a 15 amp...

Not giving any codes. ????? What type code reader did you use ? Is it able to read ABS codes ? Check codes in the BCM - body control modules , instrument cluster , all the modules on the vehicle . You put a 15 amp fuse in where a 10 amp goes ? Good way to set your vehicle wiring on fire. Fuse blows , has a short to ground .Sounds like you have some major electrical issues . Do you know what a electrical wiring diagram is an how to use it to pin point testing areas in a electrical circuit . What a DVOM - digital volt ohmmeter is an how to use it ? The Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) system alerts the driver when a large change in tire pressure exists while the vehicle is being driven. The TPM system uses the Electronic Brake Control Module (EBCM), Antilock Brake System (ABS) wheel speed sensor inputs, class 2 serial data circuit, Systems monitor, or the Driver Information Center (DIC) (if equipped) to perform the system functions. The EBCM contains software to calculate relative tire pressure differences. The software requires approximately 30 minutes of straight line driving in three different speed ranges to complete the calibration process to have full capability for detecting a tire pressure condition.
Your best bet , take your vehicle to a qualified repair shop that has the proper diagnostic skills to find an fix the problem .

The body control system consists of the following 3 modules:
• The dash integration module (DIM)
• The instrument panel integration module (IPM)
• The rear integration module (RIM)
Each of the 3 body control modules integrate a number of functional systems under the control of a single module. Each of the modules are connected to the Class 2 serial data line; many control signals are implemented by Class 2 messages.

My 2004 Chevrolet Malibu Classic keeps blowing the Ign sw-batt1 (40A) Maxi Fuse What do I do?

Is the 4th digit of your vehicle's VIN an "N"? If it is an "N", it looks like the IGN SW BATT 1 (fuse#5) powers up the powertrain control module (PCM), body control module (BCM), and instrument panel cluster (IPC). If your PCM ACC fuse G (10 amp) and IPC/BFC ACC fuse J (10 amp) in the left driver side fuse block in the dash are not blown, then you have a short circuit to ground in the wire between the IGN SW BATT 1 fuse in the underhood fuse block, and the ignition switch in the steering column. This would be a thick red wire. A short circuit to ground means that this wire somewhere has rubbed through and is touching metal. Find the short, repair the wire, and you'll stop replacing that expensive 40 amp fuse :)
Unless... someone has tapped into the wire (amplifier or stereo?) and is pulling way too much current through the wire, in which case the fuse would be blowing out. The correction for a blown fuse is NEVER to install a bigger fuse. You risk overheating the circuit and possible fire. Always find the cause of the short/overcurrent.
