Hey guys,
Got a big problem here. I keep blowing 30A fuses in my fuse panel. 3 different fuses that do not effect the performance of the truck as far as I can tell. I have heard that if the engine "ground straps" have corroded or rusted, the engine not being grounded will blow fuses. Is this true, and how do I check for engine ground? Also, if that is the problem, do I have to use the grounding straps or can I just replace them with a very large gauge wire?
Thanks
