background info on the car?

Any wrecks? Any mods that required wiring?? Audio? etc.

Time to get a FSM and familiarize yourself with the electrical system. STOP PUTTING A HIGHER AMP FUSE!!! All your gonna do is burn your electrical system more and fuck up your car. Get an FSM first and do the half method to figure out which side keeps blowing the fuse.

well first of all it came with the 30amp in it, i havent done any wiring mods in it, it ran fine until a few days ago so i guess ill just check over some stuff and see what goes on.

CHECK ALL YOUR WIRING THAT HAS TO DO WITH IGNITION.


you are grounding out somewhere.

trace from your steering column to the fusebox to the ecu.




i had the same problem.

mine alt was hitting the powersteering line causing a short due to weak ass motormounts. every time the engine moved it would touch the metal tube and bam...out goes everything. just put some foam and ziptied it and bam it's fixed.

i had the same problem with my 95 (back when i had one)
one of the wires was grounding the head. it's the wire that goes in front of the valve cover towards the distributor

ck that loom and see if any of the wires are being grounded out

check all the wire you may have done yourself to the car. There is a short circuit somewhere. What I did to test mine was took out all the fuse in my fuse box and replaced the fuse that kept blowing. The put in one fuse at a time to see what cause that fuse to blow. I finally found out that my boost gauge harness was crappy and cause my short.

yep that's very common on the s14. what fuse did yours blow? the 75amp one?
