20 amp fuse in the box under hood that keeps blowing
I have a 97 dodge intrepid. The 20 amp ignition start run accessory fuse in the box under the hood keeps blowing. It seams to do this about every 100 miles or so. Can you help me? Thank you.

The Horn is fuse #8 in the under hood power distribution box, it is a 20 AMP yellow fuse. I think you will find the fuse is ok and the problem is the rotating horn contact (called the clockspring) under the steering wheel that is defective
Check ignition switch fuse. This
is a 20 Amps. see that it has not blown. In 2004 Fuse should be nr 8 in
the power box under the hood (newer models #24).
Once you are
sure that battery, fuse and wires are OK, check starter and ignition
switch. Check if there is 12V to starter while cranking. If there is
power and the starter motor does not turn, then the motor is gone. If
there is no power to starter motor when you crank, then the ignition
switch located inside the steering column may need replacement. Before
repairing, try reading error codes with a code scanner.
The fuse that keeps blowing is related to your ignition. Get the faults read at a shop and find what is triggering fault and that will lead you to your problem. It's a whole lot easier than throwing parts at it, and cheaper.
you need the schematic.20 amps is a serious current.
put a bulb across a blown fuse,and if there is a short,the bulb simply lights.use a 12 watt lamp to limit the current to one amp,then remove lines until the short is gone.
i would get the schematic,and trace back from the fuse.
one problem in automotive is how many people may have worked on a given car.you have to check all previous work..
I have a 96 Intrepid, and none of the signal lights work. I tried replacing the fuse, but this did not remedy the problem. Could this be a loose connection?
Thank you very much. Very helpful.
