number 15 fuse keeps poping...no idea why any ideas? suggestions please

Any problem with any of those systems? does it pop immediatley, or take a while? I would put a new fuse in it, let it sit, and see if it pops, if it doesnt, then start turning on any other circuits( lights,etc) one at a time, until the fuse blows. then you can narrow your problem down to a specific circuit, like the backup lights, or airbag,etc

then you more then likely have a wire thet is shorting to ground, or loose in harness and causes a short when vibrated and or moved. More info need on when it happens ?? With car in motion or when it sit's in drive way ?? 15 amp fuses in car's are not the biggest of circuts. Could also be a bar wire pulling too much juice and popping the limit of the fuse??? The description is too vague to determine. where dose car live ...Near coast?? ...Salt air dose hella damage to cars and Electronics/wires and stuff.

Keep looking and determining???

It pops when its sitting doing nothing.....Not likley. More like when you start it. Then there would be a ground short to a device that is on in car or Impeadience in the wire that are in this circut. For what circuts is this fuse for?? Radio , Lights , A/C....what ever they are make sure they are off. Replace when the fuse and Don't start the car.. If it pops still then some thing is (+ charged) wire crossing the load out before the fuse.

If nothing, then start car. If it pops then you will most likley have an Impeadence build up in wire's and/or terminals.

If nothing thhen turn on devices or make them activate. If it blow's then its a short.

LOL....../Matt
