Please help! Ignition fuse keeps blowing! - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

I need urgent help! My 92 s13 is having a issue with the ignition fuse, one day while doing a burnout my car gradually stalled while the burnout was taking place, I replace the main relay and the car worked perfectly fine for about 2 days then it started blowing the j clip 30a fuse and on the diagram it says it is the ignition fuse, the car has been down for about a week because everytime I put a new fuse in there they just pop after a ride in the car and I do not want to mess up the ECU and those fuses are hard to find. The car would ride perfectly but if I cut it off it will not come back on or even turn over, the clock stays on and everything electrical inside the car is dead, the headlights, back lights, and back up lights work. I've tried everything the only thing I have noticed is that there are two wires that are disconnected and they both lead to the positive battery terminal and back to the starter. My question is if anyone has an idea of what those wires are connected to? Or what keeps blowing my fuses? I tried tracking a short but I do not know where to start! Please help!

I just took the wiring harness apart and every wire there seems to be fine! My wife tracker is constant all from the fuse box where the fuse is to the ignition all the way inside the car so everything there is fine, I will check grounds next any suggestions will help please please I would really appreciate it

You need to look at the ignition switch diagram. I have a feeling you have a frayed or destroyed ground, so every time it loses adequate connection it shorts and blows that fuse.

I will look into that tomorrow I will go to my school and use all data to get the diagrams and that might be the whole problem because I have done every single test and everything seems to be fine

I checked all the visible groups da and they all are fine are there any other grounds on a 92 that I do know of? The ones I checked were the one by the battery, the one that leads off the wiring harness by the driver headlight right before the harness goes into the fender! Am I missing some?

Turns out some clutch wiring was messed up and now it works perfectly fine
