1996 mercury grand marquis number 8 fuse keeps blowing.

The fuse goes to the clock memory, radio memory, power window, power mirrors, power seat and power door locks. I disconnected the radio and the fuse still blows. The funny parts is that my windows and power seats still work but nothing else. Dealership service dept. said that based on symptoms that two wires are touching each other. I looked at the wires in the corregated rubber wire conduit on the driver and passenger doors and they look brand new. I don't know where else to look and I don't know what the wiring diagram looks like for the number 8 fuse.

TRY UNPLUGGING DIFFERENT SECTIONS OF WIRING IF THERE ARE JOINS ON THEM

  • mkeeble1234
    mkeeble1234 Sep 30, 2012

    I need a wiring diagram for that fuse. The power windows and the power seats still work even though the fuse is out. According to the owners manual the power windows are protected by another fuse also. Not sure if this is a backup or not. The EATC is mentioned in four fuses but I don't even have that.But the power seats are not. if the windows work because of the other fuse then that only leaves the power seats. I don't know what the wires could be connected to to be giving them power. If the wires are connected to another wire wouldn't that blow another fuse for the other devices that are controlled by the wires because of the extra current pull?

SOURCE: 97 Sable passenger window will not close.

Hard to believe the fix I have for you but it worked for us and totally surprised us too. We have a 1997 Mercury Sable, power everything and the drivers side window would not go up but all other windows worked fine. I called a car place to see about how much it would cost to fix and he told me to do this......sit in car with car on and have the door open to the window that won't go up, now hold the button in the UP position on the window and slam the door(even might have to have someone slam it for you)....when we did this the window went straight up perfectly and worked fine afterward and for 2 years. So please try it. The guy told us it would work on any power windows in any car because it just jumps the bad part or place in the window thingy lol.....good luck.

2000 Mercury Grand Mar Quis LSMultiple things stopped working at same time

Changing a serpentine belt shouldn't affect any of the electrics. Changing a starter only carries a risk when disconnecting and reconnecting the battery before and after swapping the starter motor. Done correctly that risk is low.
So, No clock, no heater control panel, no rear view mirror compass and both power door locks don't work? Does the car still start and run normally? Do the power windows (if fitted) still work?
This still sounds like a fuse issue. How did you test the fuses? Fuses can look OK but still be 'popped'.Somewhere around 2001 some changes were made to the fuse box layout on that model. Is your dashboard fuse panel the smaller square 18 fuse panel or the larger, longer 32 fuse panel?

Is there a fuse for the entry pad on a 1996 Mercury Grand Marquis?

Fuse #8 on the interior fuse panel and 20amp on the engine compartment fuse box, but if either of these were blown you would have several other things not working, door locks from any switch, dash board wouldn't light up, cluster radio heater control and d o on.if all this is working, I would start my testing at the door pad.they get little cracks in them over time and water gets inside and corrodes the switch, pad, internally. .ive done a lot up hete on east coast. .

1995 Mercury Grand marquis airbag fuse 10 keep blowing and airbag light flash code 21

#10 is the airbag fuse, but the problem is most likely a ground fault. I have a 1996 Grand Marquis doing the same thing. You will probably find your problem exist within the air bag module. The module was stolen out of mine, so I tried disconnecting the airbag instead. This did not correct the problem. Locate your module (under passenger seat I believe) and check it out first. I hope this helps.

I have a 1996 mercury grand marquis and the rear defogger is not working. hat could be wrong?

Please rate. Thanks

could be the switch whcih incorporates a relay & timer.

Window, Heated Back NOTE: The radio antenna is integral to the window glass and is serviced with the back window glass (42006) as an assembly.

The heated back window consists of:
  • a series of grid lines baked on the inside surface of the back window glass and system wiring which includes heated back window ground wire (18C620) and heated back window feed wiring (18C619).
  • the grid lines, which consist of two layers. The first is brown as viewed from the exterior, and the second is silver as viewed from the interior.
Power for the back window glass defroster grids, the heated outside rear view mirror and the heated back window switch indicator is supplied from the power distribution box through a fuse HTD BLT (40 A)which protects the circuit.

#8 fuse blows as soon as replaced

What ever the fuse is going to has a "direct short" in it. Either somewhere on the wire between the fuse and the appliance it is hooked to there is a bare spot (a place where the wire insulation has worn off) and it is making direct contact with a ground (car body) or the appliance the fuse is hooked up to has been damaged, and has shorted out, and needs to be replaced.

Solution: trace the wire from the fuse to the appliance looking for bare wire, if you find that cover it with electrical tape and problem solved. If not then unhook the appliance and replace the fuse. If the fuse does not blow then the appliance is bad and replace the appliance.
