I have a 6500 es that keeps blowing the 15 amp fuses. It will sometimes run 1 hour or maybe even 2, but then it blows the fuses. What could be the problem.

fuses blow because of dead shorts or excess current draw
to blow a 15 amp fuse indicates a dead short
by disconnecting the rear lights , the problem is in something else you have replaced
could be a problem in the head light wiring

It could be caused by the wrong fuse type being fitted. A fuse blows due to an overload. But some overloads can be of a short nature. The surge when something is switched on for example. A fuse which is say a quick blow type would therefore go straight away.
It could also be a fault (on the wallbox) or a bad connection between the wallbox and the jukebox.

What does the fuse power?

Check the wiring, sometimes they dry rot & will jump fire(positive touches the negative or jumps fire it'll blow the fuse).

You are correct,now to find out what circuit is blowing the fuse.If the car was in a accident check that area first.Chances are its interrior or running lights.lets start with interrior lights,install new fuse turn on interrior lights on for 1/2 hour.if fuse blows remove interrior lamp lenses and look for one of the hot wires to be shorted out on the body.To check the tail lights turn off the interrior lights and turn on the running lights.If fuse blows start with any damaged areas,check the trunk area for damage to the wire harness,if you have a trailer hitch chcek the trailer harness for damage.theres no easy fix here,hope I have been some help.Thanks for using FixYa......Ray

A qualified Electrician should do this due to safety reasons.

Gain access to the stick heater:

Disconnect one wire and tape it off. Then run the unit for the period that you said it blows the fuse of 2 - 3 hours. If the fuse does not blow then the heater is bad. If the fuse still blows most likely the motor/pump is dragging.

There is a possibility of a wire that got pinched or chaffed somewhere and the possibility that water has damaged the electrical runs on the main board if there is an internal leak. Usually the problem is either the heater (Most often) or the Motor Pump Assy.

You unit has a plastic water jacket around the motor to keep it from overheating... sometimes this water jacket vibrates loose, then gets a hole in it and sprays water into the motor. If yours has a leak.... you can actually fix the hole with Marine Epoxy 2 part. The Epoxy will dry in about 4 hours to the point you can re-install the cooling jacket.

First off which fuse is it? The inline fuse from the battery or the amplifiers power supply fuse? Blowing the main fuse from the battery is caused by either the load (your amp) drawing too much current or you have a short to ground somewhere. Maybe there is a tear in the 12Vdc line and it is shorting to the chassis of your car. If the amps power supply fuse is blowing as soon as it turns on your amp has a shorted power supply. This will require internal component changes by a technician. If it is blowing after operation at high volumes I would say change the impedance that the amp is driving. If you are at 2 ohm try to rewire your speakers for four ohm. (go from parallel to series wiring then bridge mono or operate the amp in stereo mode)

Why are you blowing a 15 amp fuse or why is your machine drawing so much current?
1:The fuse is blowing because you are drawing enough current to blow it.
2: Your computer, no matter what make or model should not be drawing that much current, your wall outlet is typically 15 amps.
Your power supply is most likely the culprit and may have damaged other components of your machine i.e the motherboard.
Disconnect the computer from the outlet, open it up and inspect it for burn marks, sniff for odd burnt smells.
I think you need a new power supply at the very least and maybe more.

Here are some answers:

1. Make sure your amp does not have a higher amp rating then the fuse, For example, an 18 amp amplifier will blow an 15 amp fuse, so connect it to a 20 amp fuse

2. you have a connection issue, where something is shorting out

3. you are pushing the amp or car to it's limit with how loud you put it, and thus blowing it, fixed by getting a more powerful amp and a better fuse.

4. or there is something very wrong and cannot help you and you would have to bring it into a shop.
