If u have a mach system there is an amp in the back in the passenger rear quarter panel,there should be an access panel to right of rear seat,pull the plug on the amp and see if its still shorting..that is usually the problem

You have a logic fuse box the nearest ground is the sun visor light,This also affect the radio so you probalby dont have the radio power also. you will have to reomve the sun visor as the wire that is shorting has gotten tangled up there

SOURCE: 2002 Mustang blowing PCM fuses

Ok the 30 amp fuse is the switch side of the PCM relay and the W/BL wire u are disconnecting is the coil side of the relay.So when u disconnect it u are keeping the relay from energizing so this is not the problem.When u unplug the CCRM in the fender u also keep the relay from energizing.
Unfortunatley this could be the worst possible ckt to have a short on because it feeds everything with a 12V feed in the emission system.
It feeds all the coil packs,the coil side of the low and high speed fan relays and coil side of AC relay also in the CCRM.
Now looking at the schematic I think it is possible to narrow your problem down to the coil packs.The other ckts off of this go thru 2 more fuses, fuse 8 and 2 in the interior fuse panel and both of these are 20 amp fuses so they should blow before the 30 amp if the short was after them. Although it could be the CCRM I doubt it would blow the 30 amp fuse because the other feeds there are on the coil side of the relays so that leaves the coil packs.
I would trace the red wire side of each coil pack looking for a pinched wire,they will go back to right side of engine into a square 42 pin connecter.A quick way to test it is to unhook all the coil packs then get you 2 alligator clip wires and a 1157 bulb like in your t/signals. Clip one of the wires on each side of the bulb and hook one wire to power then the other to the red wire pin 24 of the CCRM that u unhooked in the fender(leave CCRM unhooked). Pull the 2 fuses in the interior fuse panel (8&2) then see if your bulb lights. If it does then u have a short in the wiring,if it doesn't then hook each coil pack back up one at a time and see if it lights your bulb.

SOURCE: Front A/C won't blow, rear works fine. 2002 Expedition

Check the fuses for the blower motor and check power to the front switch to the blower.

SOURCE: rear A/C blows hot air instead of cold on a 2002

The most common part that fails is the temperature actuator. It is located on the right rear of the suv. The trim panel has to be accessed to replace the actuator.

Hit a bump in my 2011 Malibu and the radio fuse blew every time I replace it it instantly blows

Try unplugging the power to the radio. If it still blows fuses when you hit a bump, then the short is in the harness. If it doesn't blow fuses any more, then the problem is in the radio.
Hope this helps.

How do i find a wire thats blowing my fuses on a 1996 jeep grand cherokee

ok some shorts are not too hard to find, first tell me; is it the lights? is it the radio? what is it? any method you use to find the short will imply a los of parts to be removed and screws to un-do.

e.g. if the short is in the driving lights, you can find where the short is by disconnecting the wire harness, you can start under the dash and work your way to the back. when the fuse stops blowing at the time you turn the switch on while the harness is disconnected; you found the short. good luck to you.

Sienna radio fuse keeps blowing

You may need to unplug the radio to see if the short is internal, and if not its probably in the harness.

Starter/Fuel Pump fuse, or the Relay Fuse blow

the fuel pump comes on when you turn the key on the starter comes on when you turn all the way to start so i would think the short is in the fuel pump if it blows by just turning the key on

Ignition problems

the expeditions had a problem with the rear wiper motor grounding out, i would try replacing the wiper motor first, as for the fuse blowing, it is blowing for a reason, fuses don't just blow. if the wiper motor does not fix you may need to have someone go thru the electrical pin point tests to find the short.
