Fuse Keeps Blowing For Power Steering, A/C & Heater?

2003 Ford Crown Victoria. Drove through some water last night and shortly after lost Power Steering, blower motor, A/C Heater. All of these things work fine after installing a single 15 amp fuse located in the car-by driver's feet. BUT then stops working after the fuse blows right away! What should I be looking for and where? Thanks

Answer:

The water caused a short in one of the systems protected by the fuse. Your best case scenario is that drying the circuits will eliminate the problem. I suspect you will need to locate the short and replace some wiring. Start looking at each affected component and look for damaged insulation.
look for a mechanic in your phone book. you can seriously screw the pooch and your wallet if you try to fix this yourself. next time don't drive through water.
