problem could be radio.10 amp fuse for ignition switch power up radio display the 30 amp fuse for radio amp system in which that circuit hot at all times.
I am assuming you are talking about the circuit that powers the key switch. I'm showing a fuseable link to the starter relay instead of a fuse. If it is the circuit that powers the switch, I would disconnect the switch and see if the fuse blows as each circuit is powered one at a time using a jumper wire. You can get 30amp circuit breakers that plug into the fuse slot to use while you are testing circuits. You may need a repair book or shop manual to find out what is powered by that fuse since it is most everything on the car.
Hello! Just because you changed an engine does not mean that something unrelated hasn't occurred... In the fuse box is the 10A fuse in the far left row...Third fuse down?....If it is that is the ECM ignition Fuse...Tracing from the ignition switch it is a Pink wire that goes to a 3A in-line fuse and changes color to Purple/White then on to the ECM...When the fuse blows is there battery on the Pink wire?...If not...Pull the blown fuse...Disconnect the main Battery terminal...Set multimeter to the X 10 scale...Place one lead on each side of the pulled fuse socket and the other lead to bare metal ground...Does either side read resistance to ground?...If it does turn the ignition key from off...To ACC,.. to start and finally hold on run...Does the ground go away in any of those positions? if it does I would suspect one of the ignition switch wires is touching ground...Hard to find...But if you alligator clip the meter in place and wiggle the ignition wires you may see it come and go...Indicating where you are moving the harness the bare wire is pinched to ground... However...If the movement of the key does not produce a change...Remove the fuse box...Flip it over... identify the wire on the fuse that blows and trace it with meter in-place wiggling as you move through the harness until you find the bare spot touching ground...
An easier softer way is to identify the color of the wire that connects to the ECM IGN FUSE...It will be Red, or Purple/White and go to the ignition switch...Cut it on both ends and run a wire of the same gauge from point to point...Guru...Saailer
something connected too ignition sdwitch has short to ground. remove all fuses except 20amp that blows turn on ignition see if blows. if not replace one by one till it does to isolate circuit. which fuse is blowing and where is it located.
probably a bad starter solenoid, first remove the negative battery cable, then remove the two wires from your starter, wrap them in black tape so they wont short out on anything, repl,ace your fuse and hook battery back up and turn key to start, no blown fuse-bad starter, if it blows the fuse it's a wiring short and you should take it to a qualified mechanic
Either you have connected your wiring incorrectly, recheck all of your wiring connections, Or the power supply for the fan is coming straight from the battery instead of running through the switched relay, most likely the relay is stuck closed allowing the fan to stay on.
Fuses mean short somewhere.Fuse is always live it feeds relay but in tank pump [ fuse#4or#6 i forget anyway visa versa ] is not live until this.Relay clicks once when key tuned to on and once more when key turned to crank engine it is under dash by glove box and loud enough for someone with ear at this spot to hear.In tank pump should not be live until engine starts to crank.
