Stranded in middle nowhere, 1987/350 manual ECM fuze blown
 
I had another fuze in the truck, plugged it in and it blew...:waah:

Any ideas to get me back on the road?

Thanks!

Sounds as if you have a straight to ground issue.

Which fuse is it?
:chevy:

Wonder if I pull the 30 amp accessory fuze I might get lucky and it will start? Only have one fuze left :dohh:

Found it after much searching, a frayed wire at the injector area.

what size was the original? 10a....

if it was 30, I'd say why not... never put a larger amp fuse in place of one that's instantly blowing, your asking for a much bigger problem than you had such as a fire. even if its just to get you home...

ECM 1 is a 10 amp, I was only going to pull the 30amp to see it affected the short, not use it in place of a 10 amp. ;)
