Hi,

My car is having a frequent fuse burn. This fuse box is located at bottom left side of the steering of the car. It is the Guage Fuse. I have to replace it everytime I start my car.

Do you guys have any suggestion?

Thanks,
Rids

There's a short somewhere. The reason it blows when you start the car is because the ignition switch is what powers the fuse. Does it blow immediately when you replace it or does it work until next time? Keep in mind that shorts are sometimes VERY hard to locate. We'll give it a try, though!

It immediately blows as soon as I start my car. For a time being I am using 30AMP fuse on that 15AMP. It working fine for now but I don't want to take a chance for a longer time period.
