Please help I have been unemployed since October 2010 and this is our only transportation.
ATC Fuse #6 Blows : I have a 1996 Chrysler LHS, 3.5 liter engine. When I drive for approximately 1 - 5 miles the 10 amp ATC fuse blows, the ABS light comes on, and the A/C shuts down with it going to a default mode of the defroster blowing heat. I can't find the cause Any input you may have would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Dominic

I just drove it the fuse blew with the a/c off, changed the fuse and it does it with the a/c on as well, and it also seems that it has lost some of the power assist for the power steering when the fuse blows.
