Im doin 80 on the freeway yesterday in my 98 Rora when all of a sudden my gauges went dead, dic shutoff, radio and windows stopped working, no warning lights came on but my anti lock brake light,my Rora still running fine.I pulled over at the next exit to see what's up ,I checked the fuses up front all good ,looked under the seat ,checked those fuses, found the problem, a blown fuse,I replaced it in the space IGN 1 a blue 60 amp fuse (the big ones) problem fixed ,yeah right, it blew again ,by the way my fan stopped working too so now im overheating,does anyone have a answer?

Owners manuals used to tell you what was all hooked up to a fuse. I would check that first.

When you said windows quit I thought about a dime in the cigarette lighter but I don't think that now when you blew the big fuse.

I'd say you have a wire ground out on something by chaffing, or something hooked to that fuse is dying (fan) and pulling to much juice.

Is it really 60amps, thats a lot of juice what ever you don't jump it with a wire or something and say heck with it, you'll have a fire for sure.

Thats 720+ watts of draw thats blowing that fuse.
