ECI Fuse keeps blowing

One day I started my gto and it cut out, I found the ECI fuse was blown, I replaced it and my car ran fine for a few days, and one day after work it started it and I backed out of the parking and it cut out again, I replaced the same fuse and it started again. one day I started it and it cut out again and now it will not accept a fuse. It just keeps blowing, even with the ignition Off. Could you please try and diagnose the fault for me. Thank You. Kind Regards Mike

What ever was blowing the fuse intermittently now has a full blow dead short. Trace it through to the unit and check for connections shorting out or the unit itself shorting out.

SOURCE: jeep keeps blowing auto shutdown fuse

Yes I had the same problem. The wires that plug into the sensor at the catatytic converter were rubbing against the drive shaft untill they finally wore through causing the short against drive shaft. repaired wires and it fixed everything

SOURCE: 98 stratus won't start

Sis had a 1997 Dodge Stratus and experienced issues with the cigarette lighter. Car would not start and I was able to trace an ignition fuse as the problem. Replaced the fuse and the car would attempt to crank but not start and the fuse would burn. Repaired the cigarette lighter and changed the ignition fuse but fuse continued to burnout. Pulled the accessory fuse and car attempted to start without the ignition fuse blowing. Put the accessory fuse back in place and the car started up no problem,

Why does my ECM-I fuse keeps blowing?

Did you check the crank sensor wire, it may be hitting the hot exhaust. does the wire going to fuel pump have a problem and is shorting out. ECM 1 ..... then there are 5 components that this fuse feeds
1-crank sensor
2- all injectors
3- ECM
4- electronic ignition control module
5- ignition coil - check for a bad wire in these areas. Hope this helps.

I have an '04 Sebring Convertible with the 2.7L V-6 engine. It has been running fine with no problems for over a year since I bought it. Then the other day, I had it detailed and drove it home...

This happens all too often on the Chryslers, the starter fuse blowing. The cause in most cases is the starter solenoid. I recommend replacing the starter and the solenoid when this happens, to keep from having to do it again a few months later, I hope this helps.

WILL START DRIVE A FEW BLOCKS , THEN SIT 5 MIN GO TO START AND WILL ONLY CRANK CHECK FUEL FUSE SOMETIMES BLOWN OTHER TIMES NOT HIT TANK THEN MAY START , MIGHT TURN OFF AND THEN MAY BLOW FUSE, REPLACE FUSE...

for 1 fuse blown evry so often then you must have a short somewhere, the fact that it will crank and not start is most likely ur fuel pump , had the same issue with getting fuel to start or keep car running, possible that short could be by the fuel pump, the fuel pump is located under the rear seat and if im not mistaken it is on the drivers side rear

Chevy silverado keeps blowing fuses

Your 20 amp fuse will not blow if glowplug wire shorts. each plug draws 15 amps which is 120 amps total.I think there are in line fuses for them. Try to wring out where each output from the fuse goes, disconnect all and reconnect one at a time till it blows.That should point to your problem process of illumination! Good Luck!!

P0440

The canister vent valve and the oxygen sensors get their power from this fuse(along with some other things) wich means you could have a bad component or a wiring problem anywhere between them and that blown fuse. You can try to unplug each component and try it again. just a suggestion - try the oxygen sensors first as they have a heater circuit inside them wich can short out. The pink and black wire going to the vent valve should be 12 volts with a good fuse in that circuit. Get a circuit breaker from radio shack or napa to go into that blowing fuse so you don't keep having to throw all your fuses out after you blow them. The po440 means you have a small leak in the evap system but you need to repair the blowing fuse first wich could also have something to do with the vent valve- they go bad very often.- good luck
