Ecu fuse blowing

[bobosimon55]

Has anyone ever had a problem where their ecu fuses keep blowing. the only aftermaket electronics i have in the car are reverse indiglo lights side markers, strobes, and sidemarkers. thesidemarkers are grounded on the engine ground, i'm not sure if that was smart but the car was starting consistently for months than suddendly the degrees dropped and the car has been acting up and now theecu fuses keep blowing and obvoiusly the car won'tb start.

maybe the dude wired up his strobe lights and other crap in conjunction with his ecu power wire. that means his total amperage is now much bigger than the ecu fuses can handle. and so his ecu fuses will just keep blowing. hope the dude wont put any bigger amperage fuses cus he will end up burning his wiring harness next.

Actually I wired the guages and the strobe to the wires going to the cigarette lighter. was that a bad idea.

yes, since one of the ECU fuses links the ECU, radio, and accessory backup power lines.

Could be but it depend on the total wattage of all that crap you got. Why dont you disconnect the wirings of all that shit and let us know if you still burn your ecu fuses.
