97 cobra eec fuse keeps blowing!!

[Street Fellon]

my eec fuse keeps buring out and kills the car its a fuse in the engine bay a 20amp fuse in the book its call the eec fuse which is for
: power control module
: constant control relay module
When the fuse burns out the car dies even if u driving and when you try to start it cranks but no start the theft light just blinks alot any body know what i can do???

Start by installing a 20 amp circuit breaker so you can locate your shorted wire without going through a bunch of fuses. Then get a wiring diagram so you can trace the wire. Might sound a bit daunting, but its actually quite easy.

ive seen alot of posts and peopl are saying it sounds like a bad ccrm or maybe a pcm but ill try your idea first i just hate electrical

Alright, try this. Disconnect the PCM and see if the fuse stops blowing. Then plug in the computer plug by plug till the fuse blows. You can try pulling the ccr module too. I wouldn't condemn the PCM right away. Throwing parts at a car usually ends up in frustration. GET A WIRING DIAGRAM!

it only blows like once a month maybe a little longer then that its not like a weekly problem thats what weird but im gonna get a diagram and try this out and ill let u know what happens thanx

I'd bet my right nut its not the PCM if its that intermittent. You have a wire rubbing and causing a short. Any more questions on how to read the diagram let me know!

I had a specialist take a look at it and he found the problem. Turns out my jlt cold air was putting pressure on some wires that ran underneath it close to the hole where the intake goes into the fender. So every time I would hit the gas hard enough the engine would twist enough to move the intake an make the wires short out against the fender and blow the fuse. Couple zip ties and some electrical tape and never had an issue again. Hope this helps.
