Cool blowin' fuses!!!

Please help! My '95 psd is blowin' fuses left and right! The fuse for the gpr keeps blowing. I have changed the gpr and I'm STILL blowin' fuses. Of course without that fuse my baby doesn't want to start in the cold, let alone at all.

I guess I should have put my question in there. What or why do I keep blowin' fuses. The "wait to start" lite doesn't even come on.

If you're blowing # 22 I hear that it's prob the fuel heating element in the fuel bowl. Haven't had the prob myself, but seems pretty common.You can unhook it at the bowl and see if that does it.Good luck w/it.

No WTS sounds like your fuel heater is shorting out. There's a wire you can unplug to disable the heater on the drivers side of the fpr, i forget which one though, some people just unplug it anyways cuz they don't need it. Or you can take the filter out and look for the wire at the bottom if it's grounding itself out.

check fuse #22 possible fuel heater shorted out. red wire going into lower part of bowl.

check the wiring from the gpr to under the vc's where the gp's are. sounds like a shorted out wire.
