My 2004 Tahoe wouldn't start on Sunday. Check battery and starter, but it turned out that the 40amp fusible link in underhood fuse box was blown. Replaced and it started immediately. Drove for two days and went to start it on Wednesday evening and it did it again. Replaced fuse and started immediately.
Any ideas what might be blowing the fuse?
Thanks!
HI...
ON the fuse box cover.

If you can give me, I can try help you. as more I can.
Thank you for use fixya.
OK.
THe fuse IGN A. GIve power to a lot of electronics system.
But they have a SMALL fuse for each one.
BUT. The principal funtion of that fuse is;
Give constant power to RED wire on the ignition switch
First. REMOVE the steering covers.
Check for any aditional wire connected to the ignition switch wires, For EXAMPLE alarm system. aftermarket lights.
Brake box for trailer.
And check for proper funtion.
Check the condition of the wires.
Check for damaged insulation of the wires.
OK... DO that.
Let me know what you found.

Ignition A (ING A 40)
You got it - it was from an aftermarket alarm system that we had removed when we bought it. They left part of the wire and it was shorting. Fixed the wire and fixed the problem. Thanks for your help!
That fixed it - we had an aftermarket alarm system removed when we bought it and they left a couple of the wires loose. It had worked it's way down and was causing the problem. Thanks!
