Re: S6 blowing fuses

[Reid Philip Meyer <rpm126@psu.edu>]

Rich,
        I have some info that may help with this fuse problem.   Over
Christmas, my family and I went to Minnesota (in a Dodge Caravan) and one by
one fuses were blowing out.   Turns out there were two problems.   The
rheostat on the dimmer for the interior lights was stripped and causing
shorts.    The other problem was a stripped wire rubbing against the body
when the sliding door was opened.   The symptoms of the latter was only
noticed by us 'cause the int. lites went out when door opened.   My
suggestion to you is try to think of any event that you were doing when the
fuses went.   If it's not one of the two aforementioned problems, at least
the activity-short connection will help lead mechanics to the problem.
Good luck.
                                                                            
                                            Reid
