VL blowing fuse when starting!!!

[CHEN0B0I]

Hi how you all going, ive got a problem with the old girl, i try and start her and the number 11 fuse in the fuse box allways blows, its ( REV LPS, HTD RR WDO &WPR/WA CONT MDL, TRANS CONT). i have no idea wat to do can anyone point me in the right direction.

Without a wiring diagram handy I can only say, start pulling things apart and test with a multimeter.. Process of elimination I'm afraid to see if the old wiring has failed somewhere.. Would start looking in place relating to wire movement or heat like the level position sensor..

Does it pop a fuse if it's in the "on" position.

if no, Is it manual? roll start to see if it runs.. this will give you a few more ideas I'm sure.

so the car doesn't actually start? need a bit more information.. but in the book it says fuse 11 relates to the window module, transmission and neutral safety switch... is it auto?

[Nackerz]

id say it would be shorting out at the neutral controll switch

[tombomb]

i'll second that, just a hunch

hi mate
i had the exact problem the other day, its supposed to be 15A right?? well i tried 15A and 20A fuses and did the same thing. try using a 30A. thats what i used and its perfectly fine now

you should NOT be using higher rating amp fuses to stop it from blowing that means it will burn out somewhere else along the wire now and cause more dramas.. isolate the problem and fix it..
thats what fuses are for man they r a fail safe if there is a short it blows at fuse and not elsewhere

Yeah cheers every1 for your input aye, its an auto, and won't even try to turn over just pops on ACC, were would i find the (Neutral Controll Switch and Level Position Sensor), and also try'd a higher fuse just incase but still pops. Like b4 the fuse started popping it struggled to start so i thought i might of needed new spark plugs, so i replaced em and still struggled to start. Had another look around for anything loose or dodgey and try'd to start it once more and thats when the fuse popped, and kept popping. Really starting to piss me off lol.

my sound systems wiring was bad and everytime i turned it on the fuse blew

[detox_nath83]

where abouts in brizzy r u bud
i can have a look maybe if your close

[tombomb]

i think the neutral safety switch is near the battery? this correct folks?

[detox_nath83]

yeah there is a relay near battery which is neutral start switch

[CHEN0B0I]

Im in caboolture, wbu, yeah ill check that out today, if its not the switch what else could it be mate.
Cheers

caloundra bud... couls be an exposed wire somewhere earthing out to body causing it to pop fuse
