Ignition fuse problem
« on: July 13, 2005, 08:55:07 AM »
I have a 98 B12 and twice in the past 2 weeks I have blown an ignition fuse. Has anyone ever had this particular problem and can give me a general direction to look in? The first time it did it, I just thought it was an old fuse, maybe weak, but now It's got me searching, but it being only everynow and then it's hard to trace.

Any help is greatly appreciated, Josh

Intermittant faults are always the thoughest to track down. I'd start by going over the wire harness and check for secure, uncorroded connections and any signs of abrasion that could even remotely cause a short or open.

Well, it blew 3 today, and i found a spot on the harness that has been rubbing a bolt, but didn't get a chance to check it out. I hope It's there and I don't have to unwrap half the harness looking for it.
