Reason why i'm blowing a fuse on the main block?

[HIGHFIVEBETA]

Ok. So I am getting frustrated with this issue with my s14. To make it short:

-When i turn on my parking lights, my interior lights dimmed to almost nothing. Seems like turning my parking lights on is drawing excessive power.. Why? Is it a ground somewhere? This is very odd IMO :ugh:

-Turns out after that I blew fuse #4 on the main fuse block (illum, chime, etc). One of the pegs from the fuse basically melted inside the slot. I cannot remove it. (I'lll figure out somehow)

Where should I look to fix this issue once I somehow figure out to fix that one #4 fuse slot? I'm just stumped..

HD Beam.. or constant brake light/brake light standing.. and loose clutch pedal connect

Don't think so

Seeing as the #4 fuse melted, I would probably check the entire route of that wire to see whats going on with it. It also wouldn't hurt to make sure all your ground wires are in tact. The FSM displays all the stock ground wire locations.

First of all, the fuse. It would have to be the wrong size or someone added a wire or something under a leg to leach power for what you describing too happen. Fixing that should be easy. Use a heated small flat head to melt the plastic and pull the fuse, heat and repeat. then use the same method to reshape the slot for the new fuse. I've used this method a few times, but it's just one way to fix it, I would need to be able see the problem to say that it would work for sure.


Any aftermarket electronic or gadgets?
When people wire shit f'd up, they tend to wire shit at the most convenient spot, so check the easy to get to areas directly under the dash, center console and behind the radio for a cluster fuck of sticky wires that used to be taped. I've seen people tap turn signals for fog lights right behind the turn signal so.....

Only a boost controller and a boost gauge. Tis all. I'll have to look further into it. I'm suspecting bad grounds.

Check for voltage drops. Seems like you have an unwanted resistance in that circuit. Do you have a DVOM?
