Thank you! This helps, my Miata’s cooling fan & AD fan run on the same ground, it has been wire tucked previously & trying to get my ac compressor to engage but 20a AD fan fuse blows instantly. Guess it’s time to unwrap the harness & see how good of job was done & hopefully find an exposed wire.

God bless you RB 🙌🏻

So basically the fuse only blows in the middle of the fuse to the bulb or component?

[@nedunonnyp704]

Very Good Visual Video. I'm A Visual Learner and ever since I'm Hearing About Short to Ground/Short to Whatever, this is the Best Way I can Imagine it. Thanks A Milli....

[@autodulli]

Thanks for the visual explaination.

I have a 2011 traverse and I keep blowing fuses. I have no window power,No right turn signal and key gets stuck in ignition as well as no backup camera. I have been to other forums and replaced the 15amp bck/stop fuse under the glove box and then everything works fine (for a few hours/days).

[@durakito2979]

so basically a short to ground is when a wire touches another wire and causes the circuit to blow ? or is it when the amperage in one wire goes to another one causing it to be no amperage or too much on one wire? it’s a good visual just want to make sure

I have a 2020 honda civic and my dashboard went off, still managed to put it into gear and drive it manually. I checked meter fuse and sure enough it was damaged,so i replaced and i drove it a min and poof it blew again i replaced it again and same deal!! Im going nuts!! Would you happen to have an idea as to why it keeps doing that? No modifications done on car stock hatchback sport

[@walnutz9091]

Question sir, how do you diagnose that when dealing automotive circuit. TIA sir.

[@mooosestang]

what if the fuse is on the negative wire and you touch the wrench with the positive? i assume the fuse will still blow? or will the bulb blow?

[@3217049969]

So if my fuse blows immediately after plugging it in it’s a chafed wire touching the body or 2 wires melted together ?

[@granddaddylocco3282]

my car FI fuse always blows up. Can you help me find what causes this? scanner says it just the oxygen sensor but its just the fuse. but it keeps blowing up

[@Jesus-zk3ze]

I installed some leds to my truck bed and a switch but i’m confused because the fuse i installed blows up only when i turn the switch to off mode , if i put it when the switch is in ON mode I won’t blow… can someone explain why ,? Shouldn’t it be when the switch goes to on if there was a problem
