Hey guys im really confused im having a big problem with my 1g. My 30A ignition fuse gets hot and nothing els works, when i take it out stuff starts to work again, like the interrior lights and hazards. Whats even more weird is that my stainless steel clutch line gets hot and starts to smoke because of the plastic wraping. But like I said, when that fuse is out everything els works except the headlights, turn signals but I think thats just because they are on the ignition fuse as well? Any ideas??? :confused:
 
Interesting that the clutch line gets hot & smokes !
I have had various issues with different vehicles over the years finding an alternative ground path back to the battery.
In those cases there where battery cable/connection issues.
I've seen melted shift cables, ground straps, speedo cables the list goes on & on.
I would start with basics check all your battery connections at the engine & battery etc.
