SOURCE: Blows fuse wont start

More than likely its being caused by a short-circuit to ground in the wiring in your Cranking Circuit.

If it blows the fuse immediately after installing the fuse, its probably a hot-wire. If it blows it the second you try to crank it over, its probably one of the wires between your ignition and the Starter Relay.

To track down the bad wire you'll need a Wiring Schematic for the vehicle and either a Digital Volt/Ohm-Meter or Test-Light and a basic understanding of wiring which is... honestly a little hard to explain over the internet. However, that is the only course that can be taken without taking the vehicle to a qualified Dealership Technician.

2000 Crown Victoria only clicks when I try to start it.

Check ground wire. It can build up rust where it bolts to frame.
If this doesn't work then have someone check starter.

Crown vic 2000 wont crank ? battery, alternator,starter,starter relay all good ?

The problem is in the wiring harness,yes the battery and starter is good, the harness you repaired is the PRNDL. for the starter to start it need a path when the vehicle is Park or Nuetral,there the path is closed some how by Park and Nuetral the path is open.Thats why there is a no start.when in park or nuetral the path is closed.

'99 Ford Crown Vic LX: #12 30A Maxi fuse blows seconds after starting or ignition turned on.

i had this problem with my 1999 jeep grand cherokee laredo with the brake lights it kept popping fuses right after the ignition was turned on try putting a higher amp fuse in place of the old one that keeps blowing then check for shorts to the starter and check grounds and wires and also the transmission issue check the fluid and then if the fluid is fine change the transmission filter the filter may have not gotten replaced when the transmission was rebuilt and may be clogged or dirty

AC FUSE KEEPS BLOWING ON 1998 FORD CROWN VICTORIA

with out knowing what you have for tools unplug different parts of the system and try another fuse like the compressor clutch the pressure switches and plug them back in one at a time til the fuse blows if you have a ohm meter check to see if any part is shorted to ground

AC fuse keeps blowing on my 1998 ford crown victoria

The reason a fuse blowing may be because of a short circuit. And you should check any wire connectors that plug into the pc board.

I have a 2000 crown victoria and whn i turn the key it does everything but fire it cranks but still wont start chnaged the starter,altanator, just not sure whats next

The next thing I would check is to make sure the fuel pump inertia switch isn't tripped. It's located in the trunk, on the side. You should see a little hole. Looking inside, you'll see a button that faces up. Push down on it. If it clicks down, chances are, you found your problem. This switch is used as a fuel pump cutoff in the event of a collision, so fuel doesn't feed a potential engine fire.

I hope this helps! :)
