Ben C and Willie helped me last week finding the fuses. My engine keeps blowing the 20 A light green fuse. I have disconnected all of the accessories and it still shorts out. It is intermittent. <br /><br />I blew 3 fuses today but its working fine right now. I cleaned the terminals and the connectors.<br /><br />I don't know where to begin looking. What does the 20 Amp go to or come from.<br /><br />There is also a 30 amp, that one is fine.<br /><br />Thanks<br /><br /><br />Kid

I dont have the f90 manual here at the house but it sounds like the main relay fuse is blowing, it means that occasionally something on the keyswitch red or yellow wirers are chafed and touching something ground.<br /> I will look closer during the week at some harness diagrams.

No problem and no rush Rod. But please don't forget me. If I can identify the wires that could be causing the short or the reason blowing the 20 A engine fuses, I can re wire and hopefull fix the problem.<br /><br />Hope you don't get the pukes.....I'd rather have anything than that. <br />Kid
