You guys have helped me in the past with other problems,I need to call upon your expertise again.
I have a 93 explorer 4x4 with the 4.0 v6. The problem started this past weekend with the fuse blown that handles the turn signals and apparently the blower fan for the heater.I replaced the fuse yesterday and it worked okay for about a 15 min. drive, then blew again. When I got it home I put in yet another fuse and left it running in the driveway with the turn signal on, about 10 minutes later it blew again.Now it blows immidiately when I put a fuse in even with the turn signals off. so since it also evidently handles the blower fan (even though it doesn't say so in the owners guide), I unplugged the blower fan relay and tried again, and it still blows immidiately when the ignition switch is turned on The owners guide says the fuse is in the #5 position and handles turn lamps, B/U lamps,(which I assume is back up lamps) turn indicators,(which I assume is the signal lights in the dash) and the DRL module (which I have no assumption what that is)
If any of you guys have any suggestions what I need to check please suggest away. I do have some electrical know-how as far as how switches and relays work, but most of my experience is a/c low volt circuits, but I do have a good multivolt meter. Thanks in advance for any help.
