My 2002 Envoy is blowing the ETC fuse every time i turn the key on...it is pulling code p1512 and i've put a ew throttle body on it already

My SES and REP lights are on and i 've searched everywhere for a wire that would possibly be bare and touching metal. But haven't found one. the truck will start, but is in REP mode. What is blowing the ETC fuse? can anyone tell me what it might be?

    i've read the thread on underhoodservice.com before, it is what is happening on my envoy...but they don't explain how they fixed the ETC fuse circuit...i've put a new fuse in, but it blows as soon as the ignition is turned on.

    You will need a wiring diagram & use it to work the wiring issues out,using a volt meter. Try a local repair shop & have them both print the parts you need as well as look up the fixes off Alldata,Mitchell or whatever data base they have

    i've read hundreds of threads on this and similar problems with the ETC system on the envoy....and it seems that most garages are just guessing on what might be wrong...so i'm not sure a garage can fix the problem without doing unnessecary test and suggestions.. i'm wondering if the ignition switch going bad would short the ETC fuse?

The reason the fuse blows/melts is because there is excessive draw. The other alternator could be wired wrong. Check to make sure the wires are correct gauge.

SOURCE: 1998 chevy lumina pcm ign fuse keeps blowing

Update: I took the car to a mechanic that specializes in auto electrics and he found that the wire that goes to the back oxygen sensor had chaffed through over the transmission and was shorting out and blowing the fuse. He repaired it and the car runs beautifully.

I would try swapping the fuel pump relay with another in the fuse box under the hood with one that has the same numbers to see if the relay is any good.Then I would check all other fuses and replace any bad ones.The fuel pump is not just controled by the fuel pump fuse alone there are other components that control it and if those fuses are bad it wont run.I would also check to see if a wire got pinched from the instalation of the fuel pump that finaly rubbed through to brake the connection or shorted it out.

SOURCE: have replaced fuel pump, relay & fuel filter.

have you checked to see if you have a bad came or lifter. that would make it backfire. if it kind of spits fuel it maybe cam. if it throws fire than it could be timing like a bad chain.

Hello, actually you do have a fuse for the turn signals. It's a 20 AMP fuse in the small fuse block on the left end of the dashboard.

Why does my ignition fuse (40) keep blowing on my 2002 gmc Savana 2500?

I had an older gmc s15. After installing a aftermarket stereo it did the same thing. Believe it or not it ended up being the headlight dimmer Switch had gone bad and was already pulling alot of juice. The new stereo just made it trip and blow the fuse alot faster.

If I wiggle the fuse 23 it puts the engine in reduce power mode why?

Fuse # 23 is for the ETC - electronic throttle control an that system is what causes reduced power mode . Don't wiggle the fuse .an then it won't take B+ voltage from the throttle control system . Is the fuse box where it plugs into burnt looking , high resistance will cause that . Does the fuse fit tight in it's socket ? If not spread the contacts so it does . If it doesn't do it unless you wiggle it , leave it a lone !

2002 gmc envoy stalls when turning and slowing down

I am going to assume the check engine light is not on.
I would check the throttle body to see if it needs to be cleaned, and check the idle air control valve to see if it is working. The computer controls idle speed by the amount of air coming into the throttle body.
The ac problem is probably something different such as low freon or a cooling fan problem.

My gmc envoy idles rough and the ses light pop on with a p015

See or call your local auto parts store such as AutoZone or O'Reillys for the trouble code definition. Also, make sure your gas cap is really secure, and I mean tight.
