2002 sebring start/fuel fuse

You may have wires that cross each other temporarily causing either a short circuit or a higher current level than normally would occur. These problems are extremely difficult to diagnose, due to the fact that the problem is there only for a short duration of time.

Check to see if your timing belt is still in tact. If it is then you may need an new alternator.

Did you try all the suggections ?

For your ignition you should use a 20-30 amp fuse. However, it sounds like you have a short somewhere. If you have a short it is not going to matter how big of a fuse you use it will keep blowing out. You best bet would be to take your car into the shop and tell them you have a short and to find and fix it. I must warn you though, shorts are very often times very hard to find, and take alot of time to find. Therefore most of the time they are expensive to fix. I know that probably was not what you wanted to here, But I hope it gives you a place to start out at. Hopefully this helps you out.

Under the hood, there should be a fuse block. Remove the cover and there will be a 20amp(i think) fuse that protects the fuel pump and starter circuit. I've run into this problem many times and every time it ends up being the starter that blows the fuse.

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.

yea agree but first listen when u turn the key, if the fuel pump makes some noise it means u have a problem with the starter! if no sound from the pump (sound should comes from the back seats) then its pump!

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

There is normally a diagram printed onto the the inside of the fuse case.
