The IGN CON 1 fuse in my panel continually is blowing. Engine stops & no contact to restart. All other Accessories OK. How do I track down the short?
Also, headlights and bright/dim are reversed.

Hi Steve,
Thanks for your reply. There is no Fuse Number. It is 2nd row, 2nd from bottom between ABS and AIRB fuses. It is labeled IGN/CONT 1, so since everything else works, I assume nothing else is on the circuit.
(It is 10 amp)

My information resource does not give me it that way. Is this fuse inside the vehicle or under the hood? On your fuse cover it should give a number of location for that fuse. That is what I need.

It was on the inside. Turns out mechanic installing radiator drilled hole in grill bracket that housed electrical cable and exposed cable. Bare wire was shorting on new bolt.
Thanks for your responses.
