#15 fuse keeps blowing in 2004 Ford Explorer EB

[goldenmommy]

Everything was fine and then suddenly I lost my radio, instrument panel, power windows, heater and interior lights. I've determined that my #15 fuse in the black box under the hood keeps blowing. Put a new one in and it blows immediately. Any ideas?

Here's a good way to diagnose where your problem is.

Solder two wires to an 1156 bulb. One to the center contact and one to the metal side.

Crimp two narrow connectors to the wires so you can plug them into the fuse panel.

The bulb will replace the fuse and glow instead of blow.

Unplug all the harnesses in the circuit until the bulb changes intensity.

Follow the harness to the termination points and you will find your problem.
