[QUOTE="OldMachinist, post: 27978, member: 437"] The power from the engine fuse goes to the ignition switch and then is distributed to several places when the key is turned. Here's what I would do since you said the proper size fuse blowns right away when you turn the key. Pull the ignition switch, figure out which wire brings the power to the switch and which one is for the starter relay. The remaining wire or wires are the ones your looking for. Disconnect them leaveing one on at a time and put in the proper size fuse, turn the key and check the fuse. If it didn't blow turn the key off and do the same thing with each wire until you blow the fuse. Now you know which circuit is drawing a high load, trace it and disconnect it from the other end, put in a new fuse and turn the key if it blows the wire is shorted to ground somewhere, if it didn't blow what ever it was hooked to is the problem. If the wire is shorted you can run a new one of the same size next to the wire bundle and leave the old disconnected at both ends. If whatever it was hooked to is the problem then come on back and ask about it. [/QUOTE]
