Can you tells us more about what is protected by this fuse and is it possible someone drilled a hole in a wire or somehow damaged the wiring harness. In short give every bit of info about the situation as possible.

You need something like this electrical short finder: [http://www.jcwhitney.com/autoparts/Search?catalogId=10101&storeId=10101&sku=ZX149374&zmam=73771597&zmas=4&zmac=76&zmap=ZX149374](http://www.jcwhitney.com/autoparts/Search?catalogId=10101&storeId=10101&sku=ZX149374&zmam=73771597&zmas=4&zmac=76&zmap=ZX149374) A wiring diagram of what is called “Power Distribution”, for your vehicle would help, much. The librarian at your public library can help you to go to [alldata.com](http://alldata.com) (library subscription) for the wiring diagrams. The Chilton’s, or Haynes, repair manual is another great source. n
