check for a bad earth. If you have a bad earth it can act like a resistor, allowing the current to pass but drawing a lot more than a fuse would normally convey. I have no idea where the earths run but they should be easily identified by looking for where wires are screwed to the frame. Check your plugs and sockets first though, seperate them and reconnect them several times. I spray a little WD40 into mine if I have them apart.
In the old days all wiring was high grade copper and connections were brass or copper. Who knows what metallurgy they use now. Electronics is a hobbie of mine, I'm an amateur radio operator.

Quote:Bad grounds won't cause a fuse to blow unless the ground is touching a 12v+ source.
Dead wrong.
If the ground side of ANY circuit has built up resistance (Corrosion, Paint, Loose connections), amperage is increased across the circuit.
In my professional experience, blown fuses are 40% bad grounds, 40% dead shorts and the rest a mixed up combination of components being overamperage and user error.
Offer an opinion, which is what i did, but dont correct someone unless your certain you are correct.
