What would cause fuse to keep blowing?

First, and most commonly, when too many lights or plug-in appliances draw power from the circuit, it can overload the capacity of the fuse and cause the metal ribbon inside the fuse to melt through. A mis-wired lamp, for example, can cause a short circuit and blown fuse if it is plugged into an outlet.

Why does my 12v socket keep blowing fuses?

Cigarette lighter fuses, like all car fuses, blow when the circuit draws more amperage than the fuse is designed to handle. If the cigarette lighter fuse is 15 amps, then a draw of more than 15 amps will cause it to blow.

Why did the fuse blow on my Tractor?

If the new fuse didn’t blow, an intermittent short caused the original blown fuse. An intermittent short can be difficult to find.

What to do if your fuse keeps blowing?

Don’t wiggle wiring harnesses around in hopes of getting it to not blow another fuse because then there’s no defect to find. Once it is in the defective state, insert a pair of spade terminals in place of the blown fuse, then use a pair of jumper wires to connect them to a 12 volt light bulb.

If the new fuse didn’t blow, an intermittent short caused the original blown fuse. An intermittent short can be difficult to find. Try wiggling each wire harness in the tractor back and forth and then repeat the test using the fuse. If you wiggle a harness and the fuse blows, then that harness contains a shorted wire.
