I have a 95 geo metro that keeps blowing the 15amp ignition fuse. Car will turn ove but wont start. If I do get it started, after awhile i can hear the fuse pop and the car shuts down. Ive looked for a bare wire touching some were but havent found one yet. If anybody has any ideas please let me know.

my 94 did that. turned out to be the ac relays. check your relays under the hood as well.

I dont have any AC relays. I tried a different main relay but still nothing.

Look under your hood. You have a few big relays. AC relays, fuel pump relay etc. Pull them out and start putting them back in. Eventually your ignition fuse will blow. Thats how you can tell which one is bad. If it isnt a relay it could be a bad ground. I would check the ground from your distributor, manifold, and fuse box as well.

let's see does that fuse share a function with something else? (dash lights, tail lights, etc) can't remember-if so maybe you can check the other circuit for a clue-have you recently put in a stereo/cd player or something? I remember blowing out that fuse when I was installing a cd player can't remember much else about it.-

When i put in one relay at a time it kept blowing the ignition fuse. I think the ignition fuse also runs the dash lights. I havent done anything to the car in the 8 months ive had it. It came with an after market cd but ive never had no problems tell recently.

Sounds like you should check for a bad ground then

Bad grounds don't blow fuses, shorted hot wires blow fuses. Check your fuel injector for bad wires. they are known for grounding out.
