SOURCE: The main fuse keeps blowing

with the fuse blowing without turning on the ignition woul indicate a bare wire touching ground somewhere finding just where that is occureing is a long process other possible causes are that there is a short in the starter solonoid or that your ignitionswitch is open circuited

Testimonial: "Thank you, the problem has been fixed. The regulator became shot somehow!"

1996 Suzuki GSX 750 F (Katana) main fuse keeps blowing

Hello, I'd check for a short along the wire to the frame. Also, it's rare that the starter solenoid could be shorted. Use a multimeter on ohms to ring out the wire(s) that activate the solenoid. There should be low resistance for the solenoid, but it should not be zero or .1 ohms.

I have a 1995 nissan pathfinder. i keep have electrical issues. when i first got it two months ago it wouldnt start. replaced battery terminals and it was fine for a while. then the meter fuse would blow...

It sounds like just the one problem. Your tails and the dash illumination lights are all on the one circuit that the fuse keeps blowing. Don't get confused thinking of another main fuse, just focus on this one circuit..
It is very seldom that a short develops at the fuse box, it certainly can happen from corrosion or loose terminals, but it is rare. More likely is a bad wire just like the one you found near the exhaust. Somewhere very likely a wire has had insulation stripped or scraped off, soon as the wire touches metal it will blow the fuse. Were any other wires damaged in that harness for the speed sensor? Or do you see any wires hanging down from under the truck, anywhere going back to the tail lights?
If you did the stereo yourself, were any wires cut going to the dash? I doubt this as the wire for the dash lights would be in a wiring harness that is like a bundle from under the dash up to the instrument cluster. You just have to keep looking for the short.

All the lights work except the dash lights. The 5 amp fuses keep blowing and if I put a 15 amp it doesnt blow but no dash lights

DASH HAS A SHORT CIRCUIT.DASH NEED REPLACING BUT CHECK FOR SHORTS IN THE WIRES TO DASH.DONT PUT A LARGER AMP FUSE IN A CIRCUIT TO KEEP FROM BLOWING FUSE BECAUSE IF FUSE DONT BLOW WIRES GET HOT IN THE CIRCUIT THAT HAS A SHORT IN IT AND CAUSE A CAR FIRE.

The refrigerator keeps blowing the main electric to the whole house

Case Short Circuit in the machine. Please check the power cord, the plug and the connection at the end. Check for any loose/broken wire connections. Also Are you getting any burning smell near the machine when the fuse blows up, If so then wiring in the compressor is short circuited. You have to call a technician as you may not be having tools to check the short circuit.

Toyota Camry 1994 Main Fuse keeps blowing

-if your fuses are blowing
-the problem is in the wiring
-because if too much amperage flows through the fuse will blow
-there's probably a short to ground somewhere or high resistance after the fuses causing it to draw more amps

Kawasai z750, keeps blowing main fuse

Hi,

To my knowledge, there are no onboard electrical/electronic components capable of shorting and blowing the fuse with out blowing any of the secondary fuse. The main fuse could possibly blow due to a short in the wiring or an exposed/frayed wire touching the body. The three most likely areas would be:
  • wire harness leading to the regulator;
  • wire harness leading to the fusebox; and/or
  • wire harness leading to the ignition switch.
Just a start, do postback how things turned up or should you need additional information. Good luck and Thank you for using FixYa.
