Burnt out, blown, open etc ! First, this occured because the listed current rating, i.e. 30a, 10a, 15a, etc, has been exceeded for some reason. First take the fuse out and If the fuse has a clear case, color or not, you can see whether or not the metal strup inside is burnt in two or "open". The fuse can be "open" up at one end where you can't see it (older fuse) or you may just need a check that is absolute. You can use a Volt-ohm-meter and/or a votage tester. Follow the directions for each of these items.

If there's no indication on the fuse box of what goes to what, check the service/information book for your car. If you don't have that, then take a fuse out at a time, and look for a burnt one until you find it. Make sure to replace it with the same amp rating.

Turn on the dashboard lights, and start removing the fuses one by one. When the dashboard light turned off, that is the good fuse. If the dashboard fuse is burnt, start replacing the fuses one by one, and when the dashboard will light up that is the place of the burnt fuse.

Where is the blinker solenoid or fuse on a 1993 Grand Am?

There is a fuse box inside the car, to the lower left of the steering wheel, by the door. Pop off the panel, and look at the back of the panel, which has a color coded chart showing which fuse does what. Or- you could just pull each fuse out and replace them one at a time, while looking for a burnt out one. I didn't even know I had a fuse box inside my car until I burnt out a lightbulb. Hope this helps.
