lol that is quite interesting. guess I'll have to check all them out. I still feel like there's something more to this. god I hate electrical problems....any advice on the best hair replacement formula lolol

smh idk what kind of electrical demon I have going on here because now I plugged it back in and no issues other than my turn signals. the right one works but the left one illimuninates on the dash (but doesn't flash on and off) and it makes like a constant buzzing noise. my mind is beyond blown about all this and it makes absolutely no sense to me. brb while I go beat my head against a wall

it's under the dash and runs up into the steering wheel

FOUND IT! unplugged this and now the fuse does not blow

jono I first tried a 20 and then a 40 FFL and both blew within seconds. after putting the 40 FFL in i now had a blown meter/engine fuse and it blows just by turning the key, car does not have to be started for it to blow....however all of this trial and error with these fusible links was before I realized what the real problem was (bad voltage regulator in my alternator). after I replaced the alternator the car ran fine but the fuse still blows. my issue with the meter/engine fuse blowing began when I put the 40A FFL and when it went out so did the meter engine fuse

how exactly do you determine the number of the fuse? sorry if it's a stupid question but everyway I count the fuses I don't get 12....just trying to make sure we are on the same page haha. I grately appreciate you trying to help me out with this

well I unplugged them if these are the relays lol

just unplugged the relays and still blowing that damn fuse

sorry about the pics being sideways idk why it did that

it is the 4th fuse down in the middle row that blows

I'm not sure of fuse number off the top of my head but on my flip down cover it is "engine/meter" fuse I can check the number next time I'm in it but this really has me stumped because everything was fine until I put a 40 fl in place of the 1.25mm OEM one. car runs and drives fine but I have no readings or controls. my dash lights up when headlights are on, right turn signal works left does not (illuminates solid on dash), windshield wipers work, no cigaret lighter, blower, or defrosters. I have pulled fuses for everything that was not working plus some other and the E/M fuse still blows

I have already removed the radio completely and every wire is covered and the engine meter fuse still blows

I had just put in a new stereo and everything was wired fine and was working fine for multiple days then I was messing with the 1.25 FL and that's when the meter engine fuse started blowing. I've even tried narrowing where the short is by pulling fuses to the things that are not working and the fuse still blows.

thanks for the reply....if it were the radio wouldn't it blow the radio fuse and not the meter/engine fuse

no love? ????

okay looking for some help. so a couple days ago car started acting crazy and it died on me a couple times. so looked and alt was getting hot and smelled bad. before I went to get it tested I checked out the fusible link that is connected to the alt (1.25 black wire) and noticed it was hot as well so I figured maybe that were the issue so I did alittle research to try and figure out what watt of newer style FL I should use and when I did this it just blew and caused my engine/meter fuse to blow so no I have no dash lights or gauges no heat radio cig lighter etc.... bought a new alt and installed it and car is now running great but the engine meter fuse blows instantly if I put a new one in. obviously have a short somewhere but I'm not sure as to what wire(s) go to this engine meter fuse
