CURT ENGLEHARDT (Turbo2) | Sunday, March 30, 2003 - 08:07 am Does anybody know why my Power Brake fuse would keep blowing? When I put a new fuse in the brakes work great, but then within a couple of days the fuse will blow again!All the wiring and connectors look like new. I traced the wires and there is no signs of any wear that would cause it to ground out.The only thing I've found wrong is after fully warming up the car the Alternator gets very hot and smells like burning plastic.Would a alternator on its last leg cause this? Thanks in advance,Curt. |
