exactly what the title asks. my interior fuse went for the engine. spent all day trying to find a short in wiring. is there something im missing? have any of you had this happen and what was the solution you came to. im afraid to drive it and get stuck in a intersection because after hrs of tracking wires i just put a new fuse in and it ran fine... but for how long? can fuse sjust get weak over time

well a fuse can age......

But I would recommend searching the FSM electrical (sureshot has a link in his sig, search for posts by him and you're golden) and find what ALL is on that circuit......perhaps you tapped into a power wire on that circuit for an aftermarket accessory and now you're overloading the fuse?

Just throwing out suggestions
