Need help in identifying a 20 Amp Fuse on the fusebox on the positive terminal of the battery. (1GB). Unfortunately the labeling on my fusebox has been rubbed off. I blew the fuse and I'm now troubleshooting the problem.

Thanks in advance.

If it's blowing shortly after starting the car, or while trying to start the car, check your fuel pump wiring.


Now, I'll have all kinds of time to talk about DSMs, because I won't be busy fixing mine!

checked the wires and harness at the FP. seems to be okay. where does this wire from the MPI fuse lead to anyway?

As soon as I turn the key to ACC a couple of seconds later the fuse would blow.
any body got ideas? spent the whole day today looking for melted/shorted/ burnt wires..still nothing. removed the ecu nothing seems to be affected inside.
