Fuses That "Blow" Repeatedly
Without being able to "hands on" troubleshoot the circuit served by the repeatedly blowing fuse, none of us can identify the specific defect which is causing your problem.
Therefore, the following generic answer can be applied to any electrical circuit, whether in a vehicle, or in a building, or whether alternating current [AC] or direct current [DC].
Fuses [and Circuit Breakers] are safety devices designed and installed in electrical circuits TO PROTECT the conductors [wires] and other components from short circuit conditions and/or overload conditions which cause an extremely large flow of electrical current [measured in Amperes], which causes overheating of the conductors that results in damage to the insulation and the conductors.
And in a worst case scenario, the probability of a FIRE which could destroy the vehicle, house, or other structure in which the circuit is located.
When a fuse or Circuit Breaker [and replacement fuses, or repeatedly "tripping" Circuit Breakers] "blow," especially if it happens repeatedly, is an indication of an UNSAFE CONDITION in that circuit, usually a short.
The fuse or circuit breaker is doing what it was designed, intended, and installed to do, that is to protect the conductors and components of the circuit which it serves, by "blowng" and as a result, cutting off the flow of electricity within the circuit.
The proper "fix" for this issue is for a qualifiedtechnician, who knows what he or she is doing, to troubleshoot the involved circuit, find and identify the defect, and make proper repair [s], BEFORE replacing the fuse again [with the properly sized fuse or before resetting a circuit breaker].
Some ignorant few people will suggest installing a larger fuse or breaker to solve the problem, BUT that will only increase the hazard, not correct it.
Do not follow "bad" advice by installing a larger fuse in a misguided attempt to correct the problem. To install an oversized fuse would almost guarantee damage to the wiring and the probability of an electrical system fire.
What else can I help you with?
Your 99 astro keeps blowing up stop fuse?
check tow hitch wiring for bear wires
Where is the instrument fuse panel located on a 99 Camry?
Try behind the change holder. Its definitly behind the change holder. Ours keeps blowing the mileage/spped and pwr windows

it is on the passenger side in the front
99 Camaro blows fuse?
Which fuse is blowing - please be more specific as there are more than one fuse controlling many aspects of the car's electrical systems.
1995 Chevy Lumina replaced the fuel pump but still wont start. Fuse keeps blowing. Is it the fuel pump relay?
my 99 did this. Theft deterent module/ relay had internal short. Then they also found a short in a wire.
Why does ignition fuse keep blowing while trying to start a 99 Plymouth breeze 2.4L?
You have a short in the wiring.
Will a 92 Cherokee diff fit in a 99 Cherokee?

Did the 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo come standard with daytime running lights?
The running lights on the 99 Grand Cherokee are optional they do have a place to put in a fuse inside the engine compartment on most 99 Grand Cherokees. Although does not include the fuse go to a local auto store to get one.
Why is cooling fan not working in 99 jeep grand Cherokee after replacing fan relay sensor and radiator?
Check the fuse. It is located in the under hood fuse panel.
99 grand Cherokee left tail light fuse location?
Passenger side near the door hinge on the dash housing.
Where is the fuse for the turn signal on a 99 jeep?
If your Jep is an XJ(cherokee)it is likely in a little removable panel on the passenger side near the floor
How do you disconnect the alarm on a 99 Sebring also could it be the reason for blowing the linkable fuse for alternator and radiator fan?
The alarm is built into the body computer and can not be removed. If you are blowing fuses, you have an short to ground or a current overload.
