Honda CRX, fuse 12 blows?

1988 Honda CRX, aftermarket Sony radio

Fuse 12 (clock, radio, cig lighter,trunk light, and dome light) keeps blowing.

I unplugged my radio and it still blows. I unplugged the cig lighter and the fuse blows, too.

Where should I check next?

    My guess would be that it started with the aftermarket Sony radio. Some of the wiring may be grounding or shorting out. Yes, I know you unplugged the radio and it still shorted out. Leave the radio unplugged and the cig lighter and begin unplugging one at a time until you remove one and it stops blowing. Leave that out and plug everything back in. (Someone may have tapped into the cig lighter because it's an easy source.).

    By the way, that's a lot of stuff to run on one circuit. Might be better off after you find the short, to run the radio on its own circuit if you have room left on your circuit block.

    do no longer positioned a miles better fuse in till you prefer to start a hearth below your hood and wreck your motor vehicle. 20 amps is loads of cutting-edge already. shall we are saying you put in a 30A and the followers draw 28 amps consistently so the hot fuse won't blow. Your wires are not sufficiently huge for this so they're going to overheat and finally get warm sufficient to ignite some thing. attempt to coach your fan by utilising hand at the same time as the vehicle is off. i think it is going to likely be problematic to coach. You probable prefer new a fan motor, using fact of this the fuses are blowing.
