Fuse's are used to limit electrical current to a "safe" level within an electrical appliance. Since the fuse has blown it indicates that something as happened within the television which is causing it to draw an excessive amount of electrical current. The most likely cause is that a component has failed in a "shorted" state. Identifying the specific component will require some experience in electronic troubleshooting.

What causes the ac fuse's to keep blowing out all the time?

The device that the fuse is protecting is causing the fuse to blow. It could be in the conductors that feed the device. Disconnect the device and see if the fuse blows. If it doesn't, then the wiring to the device is good. If the device is a motor load it could be seized bearing that cause the problem. With the rotor stalled the current will go high and blow the fuse. If you know an electrician, see if the device can be meggered to see if the internal wiring has gone to ground and is short circuiting as this will also cause a fuse to blow.

What causes turn signal fuse to blow on 1995 Chevy G20 van?

Fuses blow because there is too much current. This is typically caused by a short circuit, but it can also be caused by too much load, perhaps from adding extra lights. It is also possible that corrosion on the fuse connector can cause heat, which would also tend to blow the fuse. Check each of the light assemblies and make sure the bulbs are OK and that the wiring is not crimped, cut, or corroded. Sometimes, a wiring harness may go around the edge of a piece of metal and the insulation gets cut, causing a short circuit. It is also possible that the turn signal switch is bad.

Why does my 99 Ford Windstar power seat fuse keeps burning out intermittently?

Usually if a seat motor is causing the fuse to blow then the motor is going bad. It could be using more amperage than it is designed to use. This will cause the fuse to blow. DO NOT be tempted to put in a bigger fuse. This can cause a fire. Good luck.
