These are on fuse #2
Horn
right and left lighted vanity mirrors in the visors check at the hinge you can pull the wires out far enough to unplug them. Then install fuse if it doesn't blow plug them in 1 at a time
depending on exact model the dome and rear light may also be on this fuse. I hope this helps. Take care.

SOURCE: tail light fuse keeps blowing on my 1995 geo prism

Took it to the shop. The side marker lights were missing on my son's car. The wiring loops from the side marker lights to the tail lights. As the wires were touching in the front, they shorted out the tail lights. Capped the wires, problem solved!
PS: ordered side marker lights, too.

chances are the the solenoid that controls the 4- wheel drive is either faulty and causing a short or the wire harness leading to it has a short. the solenoid is a dealer only itm and should be checked by a certified mechanic.. please rate this

after you replace the fuse try closing the door and put the key in and turn it back and forth locking and unlocking it and see what happens when you use the power lock

SOURCE: 2002 Dodge Ram 1500 power door locks keep blowing fuse

by process of elimination!
one door at a time so disconnect 3 & keep changing the active one till you find which one isnt working
then test its circuits ok

SOURCE: 1996 ford explorer windows, locks and seat fuse keeps blowing

Disconnect as many of the door switch wiring plugs, and wiring plugs for the seats that you can. Then, drop in a fuse. If it blows, you probably have a wiring issue, not a switch issue. If it doesn't blow immediately, reconnect the doors, and seats one at a time till the fuse does blow. Once it does, you've isolated your problem to a smaller area, and can replace / rewire that component.

If you've disconnected everything, and the fuse still blows, you probably have a wiring issue that will need to be traced. You will need a multimeter that can read ohms. You'll need to isolate different parts of the circuit (probably by unplugging and or cutting a wire in that circuit unfortunately) then use the multimeter to test the ohms from that part of the circuit to NON voltage side of the fuse holder. (If you try to test ohms on a hot circuit you will likely fry your multimeter!). If the meter reads low ohms, there is your short. High ohms (infinity) means there is no circuit, and there is no short. When you hit on something of low ohms, you've isolated the problem to a smaller area, and can keep tracing that wiring back to the fuse box to find your short.

Good Luck.

Asd fuse blows when i try to start

what fuse number located where? photos work here,!''
with that , we can tell all possible ways.
which box, JB or PDC?
which fuse in what box. the under hood box>?
id let the other guys, Insurance fix this car, really, after all its all on his nickle. (GRIN)
PDC F20
this is called S100 feed.
s100 feeds the ASD and ECU. (and wires to same that can short)

fuses blow for a short, if the wire is shorted to ground
or the modules connected short.
or the wrong fuse, used, 20amp is correct not 10.

04 Suzuki Forenza as soon as I plug in the fuse the fuse blows it's the IGN fuse number 2 number ones okay number to keep blowing as soon as i plug in no key In the ignition

that means one of the loads on the fuse is shorted.
what you are missing is a real schmatic of the car.
why not read that first.
then pull all loads on that fuse 1 by 1,
or put them back 1 by 1, (better) to see which load blows that fuse.
no engine stated, there are like 5,... and wiring varies by that.
alldata.com has that, (fast)
or so does suzukipitstop. the real FSM it is.
ive posted both links 100 + times here.
IGN2 shorts. ill look for you. .....

first off , does fuse blow key on only
or only cranking engine??????

that fuse IGN2, runs fuse 5,6,7,8
so pull those and see if the short goes away.
if it blows only cranking the starter, then that is what is shorted,
the starter key line.
if how ever (im reading the real schmatic) the fuse blows only keyon.
then its is 5,6,7,8 is shorted. loads to one of those 4.
so pull them.
F5- not used
F6- a/c , defrog, pwer windows, headlights and DRL
F7- blower and A/C
F8- mirror.

once we know the Fx that blows above.
we then can start removing those loads.
that is how shorts are found , (unless you have the schematic like I have and the amp clamp meter, so i can see what load is shorted
the easy way ,there is no other way ,but to pull loads on the Failing branch.)

end sorts 101.

My Bravada will not start and keeps blowing the crank fuse. Does anyone know what I need to do to solve this problem?

Find the starter relay, pull it. try to start the engine. if the fuse doesn't blow , replace the relay. If it still blows there is a short in the wire from the fuse to the relay. Check directly under the relay. this is where wires tend to break first.

1996 olds bravada. My fuse in the #2 spot that runds the interior lights, horn and other items drains my battery when I leave it plugged in. Can you give me some ideas about what I can do to fix this...

Wel you must have a short on one of those systems. But if i can help you i need to know some things are you sure that the fuse is #2 that is the number not the location in the box and what is not working or giveing you trouble how long dose it take for the battery drain enough so the vehicle won't start and is the fuse the correct value it should be no more then 15 AMPS and likely a 10 amp for these systems.Ihave a 96 blazer with the manuals this will take me a little time to figure out but if you can give me input on the questions i've just asked it will make it a lot easer for me to help you if you saw the manuals you would under stand why there so broken up you need to look at 10 differant pages in three differant books to find electrical brake downs it makes no sence to me why they did it that way, But i will start looking get back to me soon pier_j

I also had a noisy compressor

Your compressor draws a lot of power even when operating correctly. When failed, you can expect that fuse will blow with all that extra resistance inside.
