Blowing a Fuse
Hello,
I am having continuing issues with a 15 amp fuse blowing. It is at the top of the main engine fuse box and the picture says it is an engine fuse. The fuse is replaced and the car is good for a few more km and then it blows again. It seems to happen when the car is cornering rather than on a straight. Any information welcome. 75 Connoisseur 2003 Thanks in anticipation. |

Check the wiring under the engine bay fuse box, it has been known for the insulation to rub through on the bodywork.

Check the wiring to the Lambda sensors, they can rub on the exhaust heat shields and short out causing the fuse to blow.
Had this issue with my ZT-T 190 caused by distorted heat shields which would randomly blow the fuse (engine ECU/Lambda heater circuit). Hope that helps, Paul. |

the wiring harness can scrape the arms that hold the front crash beam
