Stranded in middle nowhere, 1987/350 manual ECM fuze blown

I had another fuze in the truck, plugged it in and it blew...

Any ideas to get me back on the road?

Thanks!

Question Re: Stranded in middle nowhere, 1987/350 manual ECM fuze blown

Sounds as if you have a straight to ground issue.

Which fuse is it?

Get out and drive the truck this summer and have some fun!
It sucks not being able to hear!

LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB!
After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.

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

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.
