Every time I turn the key to "run". It still turns over but won’t fire. It was working and driving fine up until this happened. Any suggestions to try and fix this? TIA

Hi,

Fuse 18 is responsible for several relays. I attached a pic below and circled the relays that are powered by it. We have two choices. First, remove each relay and check it (I will provide a link showing how) or two, pull one relay at a time and see when removed, which relay doesn't cause the fuse to blow.

Here is the link for testing relays. Additionally, I have added a couple others you may find helpful.

Let me know what you find.
