That fuse feeds 12vdc to each of the solenoids on the rack and also to the two solenoids screwed into the ACV. I'd look at the ACV first. Just follow the elect pigtail of each solenoid to its elec plug. Unplug both and see if the problem persists. It's usually because someone tried to unscrew one of those solenoids and twisted the two wires on the solenoid which caused a short.

Not that? Then look at each solenod plug on the rack and see if any of the black/white wires is shorted to gnd.

Thanks for the quick reply. I have done the emissions removal so I dont have the ACV and and do you mean the rack and pinion cuz if so i converted it to manual. The problem is that every time go to start the car it just blows the fuse and cranks forever. Hopefully this gives you a better idea of the situation and can help me more Thanks.

I meant the blue. grey, orange, yellow etc colored plugs that are on the left side of the engiine and are connected to black solenoids.

You sure it's the 30a fuse? Not the 40a fuse????? The 40a fuse makes more sense to me for a car not starting.
