every time the car is set to on the fuse pops. so no check engine light, no battery light. I've unplugged the starting motor and tried also the headlights.. this problem happened before and i changed my headlights and it stopped. I've traced the headlight wires nothing to ground and i shook the harness from the fuse box to the starting motor. Please help.

Hello,

Exactly which fuse is blowing. You got it right. Fuses blow because there is a short to ground in the circuit that they are protecting. If I have the fuse and where it is located on your vehicle I can pull up the wiring diagrams for you and we can track the short down. Please get back to us with the information and we can go from there.

Thanks,
Alex

it is a 15 amp fuse. i think its the am2. because it isn't the headlights fuse and where it is, is similar to other models of ae110. so i am assuming it's the am2 or ignition fuse. my fuse box cover does not say the location of the fuse but similar diagrams online suggest it may be the am2.

Hello again,

Okay, is there any way we can get you to take a picture of it[with the entire fuse box for reference] and upload here for us? That way we know we are sending you the correct circuit information.

Thanks,
Alex
