I am not an expert in this so please consider the source of this suggestion. That said, you might try a slightly larger fuse. It could be that you are right on the cusp of the current draw limit for the fuse you are using and if for instance you installed a 15 or 20 amp fuse the problem might go away. If you have a full short situation, it should still blow the fuse, so I don't think there is any risk of wiring damage by using the larger fuse. Start with the 15 and if that doesn't work, try the 20. If it is still blowing, then something somewhere is shorting it out. I wouldn't go any larger than the 20 amp. You could also try putting a current meter inline with the circuit and just see exactly what the current draw is. You can use a larger fuse if necessary just for the test. As these circuits get older, they will tend to draw more current than when they were new. |
