I searched around and seems like everyone elses ignition fuse blows when they try to crank it. Well mine doesnt blow it by cranking, it blows whenever i make a left turn with part throttle. If i hit the left turn with the clutch in, the car drives fine. How do you find a short? I have a volt meter as well..
 
sounds like the wire is hitting the frame of engine bay somewhere if it only happens on a left turn with the throttle in. If it runs fine except for that, you won't find it with a ohm-meter. Your just going to have to trace it out.
 
Disconnect battery and unbolt engine fusebox and look underneath it. You may have a loose wire flopping around. Here's how to find a short: http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/art...-partial-short-battery-drain.html#post1496998

I opened and check underneath the fuse box and everything seems fine. I read the arctile and it seems more about battery drainage and for accessory fuses.

On my SAFC i can see my voltage dropping when i reach a light and idle. Its usually at 14v or even 13.9v but at idle it will go as low as 12.4v then when i get moving it climbs back up.
 
Travis told me you have your battery sitting on your sub frame. At the time it was not held down. Is it still this way? It could be sliding and shorting against the body of the car.
 
nope wasnt those two, i wrapped the oil feed line and the negative terminal and burnt the fuse on my way back from lunch. Luckly i live next to my job and had a spare fuse to drive back but this problem is still open:confused:
