Ok, I have a 1996 Mustang GT. I am having some electrical issues. (shitty way to start a thread... I know, I'm dealing with it)
#13 fuse on circuit underneath the driver side keeps blowing and it is for my dash lights/hvac. Sometimes I replace the fuse and it lasts for a few hours, sometimes it lasts for a few days. (EDITED: It is a 10 amp fuse or whatever the heck its called)
When I pull my light switch back to have my lights come on, the following works: Headlights, foglights, taillights. The following doesn't light up: Dash lights, clock, hvac. When I don't have the switch pulled back the clock shows up without issues. When I pull back half a pull for the parking lights to come on, the clock goes back out and the dash lights/hvac don't come on but my parking lights (exterior) do work without issues.
Sometimes my clock will reset when it blows, sometimes it doesn't.
I have replaced battery terminals, radio was professionally installed and wires were inspected before install.
I have pulled my gauge cluster out and covered all wires that were broken with electrical tape to ensure nothing hits metal.
I am running out of things to fix.... I am going to pull the gauge cluster out in a few days when my LEDs come in (doing that LED mod) and I will double check everything again.
I took it to a local car electrician who said that my radio was improperly installed and that if I bought a new radio and had it professionally installed it would fix the issue. Did that, and it still blows. I am skeptical about bringing it back to the same electrician because I kind of feel like it doesn't know what he's talking about. Best Buy installed my radio and they said that the three wires you have to ensure are covered because they are the only three wires that could cause and issue, were covered in previous install so it has nothing to do with the radio. (did get a nice new radio out of this though) Best Buy said that they would try and diagnose the problem but I want to save the money and try to figure it out on my own.
I was considering that maybe the battery line that goes from the battery to the block could be bad but wasn't sure.
Any suggestions?
