30a Ignition Fuse Keeps Blowing

[STIKLA]

Recently I took my car out in a field and did a couple donuts. Snapped the passenger axle but that was it. On the way home my headlights turned off then shortly after I lost all power and my car died. Check the fuse box in the engine bay and the ignition fuse was blown. Put another one in and it was fine, the second I turn the ignition on the fuse blew again. I pulled the kick panel off looked under the steering column and couldnt find any shorted wires. I started unplugging everything I could (Ignition pack, alternator, 02 sensor, camshaft position sensor, starter, mpi relay) and it still blows the fuses. The last thing I did was got my blinkers rewired but it was done professional and fine for a couple weeks.

Any ideas what to do or what I can use to test the circuit. Or anybody have a ignition wiring diagram that I can use to track the wires. Need help ASAP.

Buy a multimeter and get to work. There is a 99 percent chance that one of the wires in that circuit is shorted to ground if it keeps blowing the fuse.

I have one but not the best with using it. What settings should it be on, What do I check for?

Google finding a short with a multimeter.

Found out I just blew my MPI fuse also. Put a new one in and all my lights came on, my fan (hard wired to ignition), boost guage lit up, a/f ration turned on. All with the key OUT of the ignition. I put in the key and turned it to the on position and everything turned off, Turned the key to the off posisition and everything turned back on. All with the ignition fuse taken out.

Did you get to testing with a multimeter yet?

Nope I was dealing with the ignition being switched and nothing on youtube helped at all. Towing it to a local shop then selling it

Giving up that easy, not even going to try?

Download the service manual, should almost be the same for GVR4..i looked through the circuit diagram and found the ignition switch power distribution below. Narrow it down by each component and check wiring for short to ground.

Im not the best at wiring so I dont want to mess anything else up. I dont know how to read the wiring diagrams the best anywhere so I'm having my buddy fix it and hopefully he can find out whats wrong. I have no idea what im doing with wiring.

Lol 7k for a ragged on car with electrical issues? You must be high.
