Question:

93 chevy caprice. fuse for the computer keeps blowing in-dash. Any reason why?

checked all wires under hood and car, couldn't find any shorts. car will start and run but after awhile it will shut off or when it's put into gear.

Answer:

Check the cigarette lighters, even if you don't use them. no joke . If anyone has put coins or gum wrappers ( the silver kind) paperclips ect. there it will blow fuses. also If the lighter sockets have been wet and look rusty inside that will do it too. hope this helps.
if it shuts off when you put it in gear you need to check the mounts real good in it,it may have a broken engine mount,and that may be allowing it to break ground ,this will cause it to stall out,and blow a fuse,because when you loose the ground wire,you loose power to some of the inside components,such as the computer,and this will make them blow fuses sometimes,its worth a try,good luck with it.
