One day I plan to be as smart as you Dave, If you were a centipede, you'd be a good one.

The engine fuse blowing is usually the fuel pump and/or fuel pump wiring shorted,
Often, the wiring will melt and short out, where it runs above the tail pipe behind the rear bumper. (stupid design)
Is it dual fuel?
Which fuel is it running on?
The Fuel Pump is ground side switched with the relay from memory - ie, it will still short out, even with the relay unplugged.
I'd be checking the Fuel Pump and it's wiring first.
The engine fuse also powers (indirectly),
the Aircon compressor, via the a/c pressure switch/ magnetic clutch.
BBM sensor,
Evap Canister solenoid,
Injectors,
ISC,
TFI/Coil pack,
and some of the ecu including KAM.

user272 got a reaction from Outback Jack in Electric passenger window not working
Pretty sure that the drivers side switch needs to be hooked up for any of the other windows to work so if its a switch it probably could be either. I had to pull mine apart and clean them once.
Do they work off a relay? There are 2 in the passenger door of my car but didn't look at what they did.
hope this answer makes sense or at least gives you some ideas. for some reason I seem to have decided to lie awake all night tonight so I'm running a touch slow

Fuck man, if I knew u were doing windows I would have advised u to give the neighbours ear plugs, most I've ever sworn outside work.
Especially when trying not to damage new paint

user272 got a reaction from Mixalis in Sticky Lifters
I tried the Repco brand lifter/tune up additive on my BA Falcon a while back due to a reoccurring shudder on idle, added the fluid to the oil like it said, the car became nearly un driveable constantly stalling and suffering power issues until i changed the oil the next day. No damage done (short term anyway, new owners are happy) but if your gonna try the additive just go easy on it would be my advice, I only used just over half the bottle and my car hated me for it, Most likely a sensor issue so might be ok on an older style motor.
