Which fuse are you blowing?

This time of year, as it gets colder, lots of people have their fuel heater come on for the first time since last Winter. It gets rotted through over the summer and shorts. This blows fuse #30 that also supplies power to your computer. If that's what you find, unplug the heater element at the bottom of the filter housing before you replace the fuse. The fuel heater is something most people don't end-up needing, so don't worry about it for now you change replace it later if you want

nothing works sorry nothing asoon as u put a fuse in it blows it??????

[NoRalPh]

AGAIN, which fuse are you talking about???

What # is it, and what does your Owners Manual say the stuff it's protecting is?

Kinda hard to help you without more details....

fuse number 19

[NoRalPh]

Fuse #19 often blows because the wires that go to the OD switch, under the column cover, chafe through and short. It sounds like you have more problems than that with so many other things effected though... I'm not sure it would be responsible for everything but, because it's a common problem, I would look there anyway.

In the newer trucks ('01 - '03) it's been moved to fuse #45. The same instructions apply to a '99 and fuse #19. Have a look at this thread;

well to get home we put a paper clip in and it stuck at idle WEN IT WAS FLOORED?

[NoRalPh]

Did you read the link? This is associated with the TPS (Throttle Position Sensor). Kinda sounds like you have a problem there...

As a side note: "we put a paper clip in" - ARE YOU FREAKING SERIOUS??????

You actually thought bypassing the fuses protection with a "paperclip" was a good move
