Asked by Guru9R3BQ Jul 17, 2017 at 06:22 PM about the 1998 Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder 2 Dr GS Convertible

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I am trying to figure out how come everytime
I start the car it keeps blowing out the power
windows radio 100-amp fuse but when the
car is not start everything works fine the
soon as you start the car it keeps blowing at
one hundred amp fuse out for the windows
and radio I know it's something tween the
starter and alternator in the battery I looked
at all the wires there's no issue with the
wires trying to figure out why it's keep
shorting out like that

1 Answer

Blowing a 100 amp fuse indicates a dead short somewhere. I would check the starter and the wires that go to it.
