I was driving my toro today when myecc blew a fuse. SO needless to say 18 electrical problem flashes on my display. I replaced the fuse and it blew right away....Has anyone else had this happen?? Any clue as to what it could be?? I have the analog dash not the digital but it is still a rats nest of wires back there..lol I thought maybe someoen had experieinced this before.

as someone on here had suggested before, and I think its a hell of an idea to check, is if there is a penny in the cigarette lighter! That would just cook my noodle if that happened to me, I wouldnt think to check for something like that!

and if that doesnt help you out at all, try unplugging the climate control from the back of the control unit itself. If there is a short inside the control unit, this will resolve your fuse blowing problems. If not, well, keep unplugging things and looking for problems... ;-)

hope this might be of some help...

i dont have any diagrams at hand to look at but if you go to a public library you could find something on your car.
one thing to check is when a blower motor gets old and is about to die it will draw more current than it normally would-just another thing to check-but best is to look up a diagram and see what it feeds instead of halfhazardly unplugging things (i have seen fuses feed stuff that isnt listed in the "fuse descriptions" in a vehicles owners manual.
tis a good idea to do some homework. schlim
