What is year--make--model?
You may have to check fuse box, front and back. Pick one fuse, check wiring diagram for that fuse circuit. Some fuses are hot all the time, some go hot with the key on.

I need more info to go further.

SOURCE: I need a fuse box diagram for 1983 Dodge Power Ram

When the fuse keeps blowing, there is only one reason why. That is because there is a short, not because other fuses are missing. For example if the fuse is rated at 10amps, and the wire after the fuse is drawing more than 10 amps it will blow. If for example you put a bulb in series with the wire than is only drawing 2amps the fuse will not blow that is because you have put a load that is less than what the fuse is rated for. One way to trace a short is to start where the fuse is at. Find which is the wire connected to that fuse. one side of the fuse is connected to the battery and the other side goes to whatever device it supply, and there maybe several of them. Note what else do not work beside the turn signal, Most short occur where there is an electronic device. Since your car is an older model, it is unlikely to an electronic device, but a wiring may have been worked on and somehow a hot wire is touching the body of the car. If the fuse blows only when the key is in the on position, then logically you would look at the back where the rear lighting may have been worked on, thats because turn signal are always off when the key is off. If it blows even when the key is off then you know there is something else beside the turn signal that the fuse is connected to that is on even when the key is off such as tail lights because you can turn on the tail light with the ignition off. You get what I mean?

SOURCE: fuse blows causing signal lights to stop working

I had the exact same problem on my 96 swift. My mechanic found a shortage in the electrical cable going in behind the engine by the firewall. Those cables are to close to the engine and after a while they melt.

NO. You can take a small screw driver and bend the tabs a little to make sure they contact the relay.

SOURCE: which fuse is the lighter

if it has one you could look at the fuse box cover, some times the fuses are numbered,or marked in some other way,sometimes on the box its'self below the fuse.
you can also look in your owner's mamual, or a good service manual.
hope this helps

There are no fuses for the fan or the ABS in the rear fuse box, they are in the underhood fuse box.

Why would my 2003 Nissan Xterra A/C blower and radio lose power 2 days ago?

Question edited for clarity.
Question moved to model category.

There are three fuses and a relay that cover the blower. Radio probably has an inline fuse, but they are also monitored by the Body control Module.

Radio losing memory power..

all fuse boxes? (its in in USA, we dont have those in 2013)
chapter 11 here and canada in 2012. (so no books here)
in general:
this is easy, the radio and many things have a power feed that is what i call the memory wire, if the fuse is bad. then the PCM , TCM and radio forget. (and clocks)

fuses that look good can in fact be bad, (hair line cracks happen)
we use a voltmeter keyon to test fuses (rubber meets road style)
live.
in fact the new car is shipped with the fuse pulled to save battery.
is the warranty ended? if not why not get them to fix it.
need a video seeing a master ASE do fuse the correct way/?

the classic suzuki fuse for this is marked, DOME fuse.
the classic wire color is white.
but cars sold in non usa countries have there own colors.
and names.
no country stated. did you look in the operators guide , under fuses.

2012 last one in usa
59 fuses, in 3 boxes. wow;.
and is fuse 59 DOME
box 3
usa car 2012, last year sold here.

2001 nissan pathfinder radio keeps blowing a fuse

before you condemn the radio as the problem,check to make sure the fuse is not shared by other accessories.often times other components share the same circuit. one thing you might check is the fuse box itself. if the circuit is loose behind the fuse box this will cause an overheating condition. lose wires causes arcing and overheating is the result. lose plugs where the radio plugs to the main power source {plastic connectors} maybe worn and the pins could be loose or been pushed back causing partial contacts. all this will result in heating in the affected areas. a good ground is necessary to properly complete a circuit or high resistance will result.

2005 GMC Sierra 2500HD, left side low and high beams out, new bulbs, fuses good. No power at the sockets. Could this be the high/low switch on the column?

It shouldn't be the high/low beam switch, as that switches the high/low beam relays. One high beam relay supplies power for both sides, one for low beam, both sides. If you were to lose switch function or a relay, you would lose the high beams or the low beams, but not for just one side. It would be interesting to probe the fuses with a test light and see if you're getting power to and through them. If you are, the problem would be between the fuse box and the headlight, if your not getting power to the left head light fuses, the problem will be in the fuse box. Good luck!

Losing power in 2001 taurus

Pull all of your fuses, disconnect the Positive lead from the Battery and use a Multi Meter between the cable and battery post. with the ignition on off. Check the voltage, now replace the fuses one at a time and watch for a change in voltage. The fuse that causes a change will be the one that goes to what is draining your battery.

Power steering light comes on and i have replaced fuse several times

Some sort of a short is causing this I would bet. Check the grounding at the pump and check your fuse box grounding.

2003 focus loses memory when tured off 2 mechanics said it might be a fuse what fuse is it car wont hold its memory

Check first the parts that is more accessible such as the terminals for the battery and any ground wires that may have come loose. If it is the fuse, inspect the fuse box for loose connection. If the fuse blows out after replacing, have the wires inspected. You may have wires that may be grounded due to bad insulation or bad connection. These may cause the ECU of the car to loose power and in turn loose memory.

Clicking noise coming from relays in fuse box

Have you noticed any water or other signs of a leaking windshield under the dash. It sounds like you have a GEM module problem, it bolts to the back of the fuse/relay box. If it is from water damage you will need to replace the fuse box aswell as the GEM (generic electronic module) don't forget to reseal the windshield.

Toyota liteace fuse box

Hi do this first in this order:

1. Locate your fuse box. ( should be under the drivers steering column or under the dash ect).
2. Usually there is a diagram on the fuse box cover. (usually in Japanese)
3. If you can't speak Japanese, that's fine just go through every fuse in the fuse box and inspect them all
4. Replace burnt out fuses with an identical amp match. (eg burnt 10amp fuse replace with new 10amp fuse). Simple.

Warning do not replace a burnt out fuse with a higher amp fuse as this may cause a fire.
If you continue blowing fuses all the time then there is something not right.
A lose positive wire may be arcing out to negative earth (car body). And causing you to blow fuses.
Its a process of common sense and elimination that will fix this problem.
Let me no how you get on.
