Default Need help ASAP
Just got through putting a new fan on my vert.I put the belt back on exactly like it was before.Went to start it and it blew the main fuse on my battery cable coming from the trunk.I have the battery relocated to the trunk and have a 150 amp fuse on it.I'm stumped as to what could cause this. Tried a new fuse and blew it too.I didn't touch anything else on the car and it was running fine before.Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

No I took the electric fan off and put a new clutch fan on because i'm selling it and wanted to keep the fan.

Would turning the water pump pulley with the belt off cause this?

No, the water pump has nothing to do w/ blowing fuses unless it's electric. What did you do w/ the wiring for the electric fan?

I disconnected it and capped off any wires.The fan wiring wouldnt have popped that fuse anyway. Could it be the starter?

Is it an aftermarket fuse? I don't recall foxes having fuses like that. What does it power?

It is the fuse I installed on the power cable to the battery in the trunk when I relocated it to the back.

Then something is touching somewhere. You need to trace the wire all the way from point a-b. What else does it power? Where is it connected to?
