Sounds like you have a short to ground.
Are you familiar with a DVOM at all, and do you own one ? Have you any electronic experience ?

Rockford Fosgate Punch P1000X5 5-channel car amplifier keeps blowing the in-line fuse?

Internal or external short. Disconnect everything but power, does it still blow? If it does, you need to take it in for repair..

03 s10 turn signal fuse keeps blowing

the turn signal circuits are shorted,,the fuse blowing saved you from a fire.(burning harnesses)
faili on left or right or both and HAZARDS? SORRY 3 fuses to learn that.
USA answers, Chevy S10 only
there are 2turn fuses, I see, in the schematics.
LT-turn and RT-turn, so now you know which side is shorted. just a glance and bingo , side. bad know, cutting work in ;1/2.
but, there is 10amp turn fuse too, that runs the turn flasher module
so 4fuses, turn left and turn, main and haz main.
this is bad.

turn-undefined-undefined-0.jpg any thing in this whole turn system can blow fuse turn main, BLK.
but learning if only one side fails ,is great moment,
if both fails, the problem is this module or the turn swtich is shorted.

1991 toyota 4runner efi fuse keeps blowing

Correct pump for the truck?
A blown fuse means there is too much current draw from the pump.
Why is the tough question.Pinched wire?
If the fuse does not blow,immediately,can you measure the current draw at the pump in put wire?

Be SURE to cycle the key on for 5 seconds,off for 2 and back on for 5 seconds 3 times! Prime the pump.
If not primed,properly the new pump may burn out.
Sorry.

I hook up my amp with no speakers on it but keeps blowing the fuses on main fuse block coming off batt. what could it be and how much to fix

Fuses blow like that when there's an overload. This is often caused by a semiconductor device that is acting like it is a piece of wire. The most common fault in amps is the devices on the heatsink, that power the speakers. The cost will depend on how much the devices are and how many have gone.

Rockford Fosgate Punch P325.1 Amp keeps blowing fuses every time I start the car. What is going on?

well if the amp works with the car off and when you start it the fuse blows then you may have alternator issues use a volt meter to check battery voltage is not above 14.5 volts
if the fuse blows when the amp turns on then most likely you have a shorted output section in the amp.

Keeps blowing the prime fuse under hood,gas gage won't read,heated seats won't come on,after truck starts,blows that fuse each time.Problem just started.

this problem is most likely caused by a fuel pump with high amp. draw on start up.use a amp meter.then replace fuel pump.

BLOWS FUSES

If it blows fuses only after the remote voltage is applied, the amplifier likely has shorted output transistors.


Let me know if you have any other questions.

Fuse

Seems to me like there is a short somewhere, check all of your wiring. If it is still blowing fuses when it is wired so that all it has is power and ground, then you have something shorting internally, most likely a capacitor.
