bad fuses

[fifthherrm]

Well the fuse in my car that controls the air plower, gages, and power mirrors has blown for the 3rd time in one week. What do you guys think the prob is. and is it bad to just keep replacing it intill i figure out the prob.

Replacing fuse time after time when it keeps blowing is generally a bad idea. Frequently it is because there is a short somewhere in the wiring. Best to find the short, or whatever it is that is causing the problem.

Blowing fuses???????need a permenant solution????????has that no more nails wood glue relegated your steel wonders to the tool box forever?????well not any more simply replace your fuses with the defunkt nails and voila. no more blown fuses!!!


seriously though check the wires inside the door panel for the mirrors because it is possible for the wires to wear through and short every so often. happened to me. and was very annoying!!!















*Warning using nails may result in premature fire and explosion of the fuel tank.

Check the wiring as it passes from the body thru the door jam to the mirrors. That wire route and connection has been known to cause problems from constant flexing..
