If something is prevengine the starter from spinning, it will blow the fuse.
Check your mechanical alignment.
Good luck.

Have a 1995 GMC 1500 truck the 50 amp ignition fuse keeps blowing on start -up but the truck starts up and drives just fine any answers to this?

Try disconnecting the starter solenoid control lead and see if it still blows the fuse when no engine crank while switch in start position.

Try disconnecting the alternator and see if symptoms change.

You might also try using a 12V test lamp (or better, a headlamp) in place of the fuse. It may not crank but it allows you to low power circuits without blowing fuses. Observe lamp brightness as you go from run to start. Brightness is relative to current flow.

Comment for further assistance.

Fuse s under hood keeps blowing. It is the inj/coil fuse

Try jumping the starter with the key on. If it doesn't blow. Check the start wire for chafing and grounding out. You can pull the starter relay, Try to start it, see if it blows,yes, it is between the fuse panel and fuel pump. no. Put it in and pull the fuel pump relay. Start it. If it blows, then it is some where between the fuse panel and starter. If you have one of those intelligent fuse panels, it could be that also. You can have the codes read for it. But it takes a scanner, not a code reader.

I have a 98 Tahoe 4x4 5.7 and a fuse keeps blowing within minutes number the hood compartment it's labeled (eng 1) 20 amp

FUSES BLOW BECAUSE THE COMPONET THAT IT PROTECTS IS EITHER PULLING TOO MANY AMPS OR YOU HAVE A SHORT. LOOK FOR BARE OR BURNED WIRING

MY 1991 ACURA INTEGRA 50 AMP FUSE UNDER HOOD KEEPS BLOWING OUT WITHOUT THE KEY BEING ON...... WHERE IS THE SHORT ? WHERE DO I START LOOKING/?

50amp only clue and you dont have the book, the FSM.
nor access to alldata.com?
if you did youd, not be asking right?
my guess is that fuse is in the mains box under hood..
and is a real fuse and not a circuit breaker found elsewhere....????
old car, and can be anything this old.
sounds like fuse #33 in the main box blew. and feeds the white wire main.
USA car? ABS opted? A/C opted. sure.
top cause, shorted alternator, so take off that big wire from alternator
and see if fuse blows now. (do so with battery neg lug removed
the remove alt big wire and tape it all up, so it can touch metal.
then put back battery Neg lug, and last the fuse.

the whtte feed goes vast places and runs whole sections of
the cab fuse boxes and power windows.

if the Alt is good.
then you must start dropping all white wire loads.
if it still blows, the harness is shorted.
I personally just uses a temporary circuit breaker in place of the
50 amp to find the short and an ampclamp DC ammeter.
fast.
login to alldata.com and follow the big white wire.

2002 tahoe blowing 40amp large fuses in fuse block under the hood

You have a short in that wiring, most likely related to your starting motor. Pull the starter relay (in the underhood fuse box) and try a new fuse to see if that is the case. If so you will need to have the motor checked. If not, there are a variety of systems that use this feed via the ignition switch and each will have to be checked (including the switch). If you need a wiring diagram, try Alldatadiy.com.

1995 jeep cherokee

You have a large wire that powers the ECM, it has rubbed through and is grounding out and blowing the fuse, locate the power source for the fuse under the hood, then look for damaged wiring, check places were the wires touches the body, it will not be easy, it takes time and a keen eye.
