New Holland Ford 5610S Electrical Problem

[viccook]

My Ford 5610S keeps blowing the 15 amp fuse #7 Electrical Circuit and dieing. Every time I replace it, it will start and run for very short time and blow the fuse. Any suggestions?

i'll have to check my notes to see what my 7610s was blowing. seems it was a 5a fuse I repalced with a 7.5a job and that fixed it. it also prevented starting.. can't recall the circuit number though i have it jotted down in my manual.

Hello viccook. It sounds like you have a short. A wire that is touching a ground, in that circut. If you don't know every thing that is on that circut, you'll will have to get a wiring diagram. make a jumper wire, with a light bulb in it, to replace the fuse. Disconect, or turn off every thing on that circut. Plug in your jumper wire. Wiggle the wires when the light comes on, you will know were your short is.
