1) Ok, heres the deal. I turn on my rear defrost and it shuts off after about a minute and wont come back on. In addition when it shuts off my power seats wont werk anymore. And it is not blowing out the fuse or anything. What is causing this and how can I fix it?

2) My cigarette lighter and my extra outlet by the emergency brake are not working. So I went to the fuse box and sure enough the fuse was blown. So I got a new fuse plugged it in and POP, the damn thing sparked and blew that fuse. So I tried another, same thing! What is going on?

Any help would be great!

 

You have a short in the wiring somewhere. You need to check everything that is connected to that circuit. Have you recently taken out part of your interior? You may have pinched a wire causing it to short when you re-installed it. Whatever you do do NOT try to use a larger fuse.

 

Thanks for the input, I fixed the rear defrost by changing out the 30A breaker with a 30A fuse, now it works fine. The cigarette lighter still is blowing fuses so I am going to get in the dash and see if any hot wires are touching a ground, maybe thats the problem.
Thanks Again.

 

if you've taken anything out or put anything in that's not factory, ie...a radio or eq...you most likely pinched it there. the huge bundle of wires that goes behind the radio has all kinds of power and grounds. you likely pinched a power with the "chassis" of the radio. either that or with a screw...i've done that before with a power for an amp, that was fun watching the screw melt the plastic and carpet of the area. all you gotta do is tear apart the consol, find the wires that connect to the lighters and run them backwards to the fuse box. any peeling of the plastic wire sheeth or bare metal needs to be covered with electrical tape or soldered together and shrinkwrapped
