Ignition Fuse Blows after 10 min

[98EclipseTurbo]

I need any suggestions for what can I or maybe my mechanic look to fix when the Ignition fuse blows ewrytime after 10 minute.
The car has been at mechanics for omost a month already he told me that he has already disconnected the alternator and checked it.
Thanks.

Do you have any aftermarket equipment in the car such as a stereo/amps/apc...etc.

No , but when it happened the radio was turned up really well with rear speakers, and i have my door panel taken off with a left front speaker taken out

Is the ignition fuse the proper rating?

What fuse EXACTLY is the one that's blowing? When it blows what happens (car die, loss of all electrical, etc)?

Sounds like you may be desperate and everyone is out of ideas so....here's a suggestion: Have your mechanic (or you) replace that fuse with a 20 amp or greater ammeter and see if the current draw is excessive (especially after the 10 min). If so you may have a partial short in that circuit.

The car just dies and turns off the motor with all the acc and radio ewrything beside * small lights, power locks, i quess stuff that is not connected to the fuse.
I had replaced the fuse after 2 minutes of blowing the first one and it allowed me to get to my parking space before blowing after another minute. But when I start the car after rest it blows the fuse after 10 min all the time.It shorts out increasingly with time. I will give my mechanic him that suggestion , I also had my wires disconnected from the door panel for a while now too and infinity fron left speaker. but newer had any problem for a long time with that. Thank for the suggestion .


Any suggestions what might be causing it or how to check for it would be appreciated Thanks ewryone .

k this happend to me serious onmy 95 esi talon. k its the ignition fuse right.
well i installed headers and the o2 bung or sensor that in the headers got wet or streched right. so when i installed the sensor back onto the new neaders the car started and ran for like 5 minutes then died i kep switching fuse but the y kept blowing. so i took matter to my own hands. i got a peice of metal bend it so it makes a huge fuse and made it fit k. well my car ran for longer tha 30 minutes but guess what problem found the wire that goe to the headers caught fire righ next to the headers so i turn the car off and dreched it in water. removed the wire form the headers and it a ok now but i have no wire or sensor illegal but it runs now. i just have a check engine light once in a while. untill i get a new sensor it should be fine. u can try to do what i did and see what wire catches on fire .
