What does it mean if my Geo Metro amp fuse keeps blowing up?

Answer by  molson500 (183)

The first thought is a short has developed somewhere along your electric system. What action are you doing when they blow? Breaking...breaking...shifting? Analyze the action you are doing to isolate the system that may have the short.

The continuous failure of the amp fuse indicates that the circuit is drawing more amperage that the fuse is rated for. Check the owners manual to determine what amperage fuse belongs in that circuit to make sure the correct fuse was installed. If the fuse is correct check the circuit(wiring) and amp to determine if they are faulty.

It means that your battery is bad, it keep over amping your fuse box and so you'll need to keep replacing them until you get a new battery.

There is a short in the wiring that is linked into the same wiring harness as the amp that continues to blow. If not found and corrected this could lead to a serious fire within the wiring. You should use a manual when tracking a any short in any wiring.

There could be a electrical equipment that causes your electrical fuses to short and blow up. After market radios that are improperly installed can cause the fuses to blow up. Have a professional installer install aftermarket parts. Check at a local shop for your whole electrical system to see what really causes the short.

When a fuse keeps blowing that indicates there is a problem in the system. Typically a short of some kind. Inspect the circuit looking for any loose or broken wires.

It means you are drawing in too much power for the fuse itself. The best thing to do is to try a bigger fuse. If you have a 10 or 15 you can try a 20 or 25 to solve the problem. Sometimes it will help and sometimes it will not help.

When a fuse constantly blows it usually means there is a wiring issue in the system. Double check all your wires looking for burnt or shorted wires.

A fuse blows when too much current is passed through it. Too much current being drawn is usually caused by an electrical short.
