So I'm one step away for towin to a shop... My explorer decided to develop a short somewhere. It's eating the 60a maxi fuses under the hood for the ignition switch. I have tried a few things but not sure what to do now. anyone had this problem, no one I have talked to has heard of it, but read a few thing on the web that had me lead on then wanted a payment for advice (satisfaction guaranteed)"" so that didn't happen!!
(insert sob story here)

Someone must have a quick fix;)

Check the wiring harness that wraps around the engine mine on a 94 explorer was resting on the egr line that got hot and melted the harness causing it to short out looked fine from above until I started moving stuff and investigateing, hope this helps

Well, is it popping one fuse or multiple. Which ones exactly?

If it's only the one then I'm fairly sure that wire goes around the front of the engine bay. I wanna say it's in front of the radiator. Not sure about that though.

Either way. A wiring diagram following the wire(s) from whatever fuse(s) are popping should lead you to your problem.

Note: You might (unlikely) have to split a fairly long portion of the harness to find it...

Most of the time the problem shows up a tight spot in wiring or a connection.
