Why does my 20 amp fuse keep blowing?
Why does my 20 amp fuse keep blowing?
The 20 amp fuse in my 1997 70 hp 2 stroke started to blow ramdomly about 2 weeks ago when i would try to start the motor now it has got to the point that every time i turn the key the fuse goes. Does anyone have any ideas on whats happening?
Why does the fuse keep blowing on my starter?
If the fuse still blows, there is a short in the wire leading from the “S” terminal of the ignition switch to the 3/8″ nut solenoid terminal. If it does not blow, then either the solenoid or the starter is shorted out.
Can a bad coil cause an ignition fuse to blow?
A bad coil might blow fuses, but it’ll more than likely kill the engine before that happens.

What are the causes of ignition fuses blowing?
What Are the Causes of Ignition Fuses Blowing? Fuses are current overload protection devices, specifically engineered to act as the weak link in an electrical circuit. A fuse keeps a circuit from passing excess current and destroying whatever’s attached to it or melting the wires and starting a fire.
How does a fuse work in a car?
Fuses come in all types and varieties, but they all work in a similar fashion. Current passes through the fuse via a small metal strip or a spring; that small metal strip creates a sort of bottleneck in the system, a point of high impedance where electricity will slow down and turn into heat.
Why does the fuse keep blowing on my ignition switch?
If this power fuse blows only when you turn the key to the START position, remove the 3/8″ terminal wires from the solenoid, then retry (with new fuse installed) turning the key to that START position again. If the fuse still blows, there is a short in the wire leading from the “S” terminal of the ignition switch to the 3/8″ nut solenoid terminal.
