Two specific fuses keep blowing immediately - even before the instrumentation they govern can be utilized.

Car is nearly new. 13,000 mi.(2015 Hyundai Elantra ltd.) Had no idea anything was wrong until today when I attempted to plug in an external GPS to , first, the 12V DC plug grouped on the dash with the USB port, the aux and the ipod, and then the 12V DC plug on the passenger side presumably for a cigarette lighter. Neither receptacle worked, so I first looked at both fuses - one a 15 A, the other a 20A- both were blown. Hmmmmm. . . So, I replaced both fuses and tried again. NOTHING. When I pulled the new pair of fuses out, they had also blown.Neither receptacle fired up the GPS even for a second, or even lit up the red light on the wire's plug- in. What's going on?

I have a 2008 scion xd that will not charge put new alternator and battery but charging system led. Is burned out help

well 99% of posters here, (same squawk)
did all that wrong. (endless posts same acts wrong)

2 ways wrong./ (never scanned the PCM first)
and did not check all fuses next)

The service job done wrong is next)
and last worse yet, did not do step one in all service manuals
on Alternator page, failed to disconnect the nEG lug of the battery first.
doing that wrong blows 1 to 5 fuses, even the 50 to 150 huge fuse
or worse worse, the 120amp fuseable link is blown. (this case)
blowing the up will make the new alt dead 2 ways
1: it can not connect to the battery lug Plus.
2: and worse yet the cluster lamp lies or acts dead. or lies.


xD specifics , reading the service manual to you now
the schematic speaks volumes if you looked
self contained regulator in side ALT, a good dead that.!

wow 5 fuses to blow up

a 60amp fuse blows
120amp fuse blows
the 120 blows if battery is not unplugged first
if blown alterator is now dead. (off line 100%)

scion-undefined-undefined-0.jpgt
the 120amp keeps from blowing up a battery if it shorts.*(and they do)
the 120amp also prevents alternator fire when those pesky 3 phase diode packs short out, fires near fuel are never ever fun.
there you go all causes and why.

a volt meter finds all this ,
measure all 5 fuseS see Nhear, 12vdc both ends of fuse or it IS BAD
13v to 15vdc engine running
but your car Alt is dead so voltage is 11 to 12vdc. and discharging fast
JUST ONE $15 METER AND OMG SEE THE TRUTH OF ALL THIS.

Where is the fuse llocated for the mirror turn signals on a 2015 chevy silverado 1500. both mirrors dont work

The fuse for the mirror turn signals on a 2015 Chevy Silverado 1500 is located in the instrument panel fuse block, which is on the driver's side of the dashboard.
To locate the fuse for the mirror turn signals, you will need to consult the owner's manual or the fuse diagram on the fuse block cover. The specific fuse number for the mirror turn signals may vary depending on the vehicle's options and trim level.
Once you have located the fuse, you can check if it is blown by visually inspecting it. If the fuse is blown, replace it with a new one of the same amperage rating. If the new fuse also blows, there may be an underlying electrical issue that will need to be diagnosed and repaired by a qualified mechanic.

My 2012 Veracruz will not turn over after I put a new battery in it

Your battery should be close to 12v - are you sure it's not a 'dead on arrival' battery?
Are your terminals clamped correctly on Positive & Negative?
Did you blow a fuse putting in your battery? Check the ignition fuse near the footwell
Instructions for most of this stuff can be found in the repair manual: http://onlyrepairmanuals.com/downloads/hyundai-veracruz-repair-manual-2006-2015/

Wiper fuse keeps blowing intermittently.

It looks like the wire circuit for the wiper motor is touching the car body when shaken so the only thing you can do is shake the wires and terminals yourself while engine is running then maybe you can pinpoint where the earthing is.
