My car keeps blowing the ignition switch fuse under the hood. When this happens it causes complete electrical shutdown leaving me stranded until new fuse is put in. Within a day it blows as well. Is there anyway my cooling fan could cause this? We're not sure where to even start.

Hey TARA4141,

Can you please send a picture pointing out the fuse that keeps blowing please?

Or the fuse number and location?

Then we can identify which circuit you have an issue with.

Regards, Joe
