A blowing fuse is an indication that there is a short circuit condition in that circuit. A short circuit condition is the result of a "hot" wire or component in a circuit coming into contact with another wire or component which is "grounded." Grounded means that a metallic component is somewhere connected to the ground post [terminal] on the battery.

Fuse blowing when you turn ignition on 240z?

If the fuse blows when you turn the ignition on in a Datsun 240Z, it typically indicates a short circuit or an electrical fault in the ignition system or related wiring. Common culprits include damaged wiring, faulty ignition switch, or malfunctioning components like the ignition coil or starter. Inspect the wiring harness for frayed or exposed wires, and test the ignition components for proper functionality. Replacing the blown fuse alone won’t solve the problem; it's crucial to identify and rectify the underlying issue to prevent future fuse failures.
