1984- 2.3 8v just got it for winter.
i really like my new car, i replaced fuses and most accessorys work.
#12 fuse blows instantly when put in place. old style ceramic barrel fuses. ouch!
two questions- am i putting the right fuse in, 10A? (red)
and where do i start looking for the short?
the fuse is labeled: cent. locking, aux fan, radio, ect. i have no clue where to look.
note: the car also came to me with an aftermarket anti theft system installed poorly- should i attempt to remove this? i dont have the fob.
car works great otherwise- although it has a tendency to kill batterys- alternator tests fine and i do have a cheap non oem battery.
cheers thnx for the help.

no the fuse blows instantly with nothing turned on
i even tried putting it in with the (-) lead disconnected from the battery, as soon as i connected it it blew. i did this in an effort to save my fingers.
