fuse #13 in engine compartment keeps blowing

Hello,

The #13 fuse goes to the cooling fans engine controls and air conditioner. The first thing I would check is the cooling fan, with the engine off open the hood and see if you can rotate the cooling fan it should turn freely.

Check out the diagrams (Below)

Please let us know what you find.

Cheers, Ken

good evening i check the fan and its ok i disconnected and put a new fuse try to star the car and it blew up the fuse again. I try connect the scanner to diagnose the car but it shows an error. Could you send me images of were the ecm is located please?

Hello,

It looks like the ECM is under the hood on the drivers side here is a diagrams of its location (below). I would test the ignition coils and fuel injectors.

and

These can build up high resistance causing the fuse to blow.

Check out the diagrams (Below)

Please let us know what happens.

Cheers, Ken

i still cant find what keeps blowin the fuse
i already check alternator,starter,fan,ignition ,switch,coils elictrical conetor but no luck finding the problem

I would disconnect all oxygen sensors, you can drive it without them to test.

car wont star it cranks but wont star fuse n#13 keeps blowing up

it wont even let me scan the car

A simple trick to finding a short is to replace the blown fuse with a pair of spade terminals, then use small jumper wires to connect them to a 12 volt light bulb. A brake light bulb works well. When the circuit is live and the short is present, the bulb will be full brightness and hot so be sure it's not laying on the carpet or against a plastic door panel. Now you can unplug electrical connectors and move things around to see what makes the short go away. When it does, the bulb will get dim or go out.

That fuse feeds the ignition switch can you unplug it and see if it happens?

it blows the fuse when i turn the gniton switch to star the car i trya new switch butstill does the same

how could i check if the ecm is bad

You cant only a electronic repair shop can. If you unplug the ECU does it pop the fuse?

No it doesnt pop the fuse without the ecu disconected

All right getting warmer. Plug the ECU back in and disconnect all oxygen sensors and retry the test.

Could any one send me wiring diagrams for the ecm 2000 eclipse

Yep got you covered, here are the full wiring diagrams for the engine and a guider to help you do some testing.

Did you try the oxygen sensors?

Cheers, Ken

I diconected the two oxigen censors and it keeps blowing the fuse

Ignition coil, fuel injectors are next. Please disconnected and see if the fuse still blows

I already try that and it kept blowing the fuse

Test all computer wiring to ground if everything checks out replace the ECU.

Ok las thing i did is try star the car without the ecm conected and the fuse blew up

I dont know what alse to check

It sounds like the ECM is shorted out and you need a used or new one. I would send it out to have it rebuilt.

Do you a place to rebuilt it

Check ebay most of our guys use services from there. Also you might want to open it up to check for water damage in which case it may be junk

Ok thanks

One more thing why did the fuse blew up without the computer been conected

Did you try my suggestion of replacing the fuse with a light bulb?

could you show me where the ignition failture is located

You've been replacing a fuse, so you know where it is. Put a light bulb in there instead of a fuse. A typical brake light bulb will limit current to around one amp so the wiring will be protected. When the circuit is turned on and the short is present, the bulb will be full, normal brightness. Hang it where you can watch it while you unplug stuff and move wiring harnesses around. When you do anything that removes the short, the bulb will turn off or be dim. In some cases, depending on what else is in that circuit, the bulb may only dim a little when the short is removed so you have to watch closely while you move stuff.
