Yea, so every time i try to start my car the ignition fuse blows. I have no clue what is causing this. i must have went through about 10 fuses trying to start the damn thing. any suggestions would be appreciated. thanks

uh, find the short and fix it, then replace fuse and start?

done any work lately?

as far as the fuse goes start checking wires and looking for melted insulation or charred areas next to bare wires, i @!#$ hate electrical gremlins.

Honestly, 10 fuses? I'd have probably stopped after about the second one, on the thought that maybe should find the cause rather than daring the car to catch fire. That's just me though.

You def. have a short in that circuit. Trace the all the wires in that circuit and fix the short properly.
