Greetings all.Been a while since I was here.have not had any major problems of late, until now that is....lol.I seem to be popping fuse 14 frequently for some reason.It controls the following:
1-back-up lamp....(working and does not cause poppage when put into reverse)
2-warning monitor term. 8..(dont know what this is, so unsure if it is the problem)
3-emission control..(egr?..if so, its disabled and has been for several years)
4-horn...(works and doesnt seem to cause fuse poppage when used)
5-switch-over valve overload protection device(not sure what/where this one is as well)
6-autom. trannsmission..(at the moment it wont "kick-down" when I press pedal to floor..this is with and without working fuse.)this one is a little tough to test in driveway at the moment.could this be the culprit?
7-relay aux fan.term. 86..(works when asked to work with no problems it seems)
8-control unit/water pump/heating water valve for climate control system...(if this is the little aux pump on passenger side near front of engine, it has a 1 amp fuse in place for CCU protection.fuse not blown.If its the mono-valve, then I am not sure how to test it.)

Car starts cold in the morning with no problems.this all started yesterday late in the day.Was not aware of it until I tried to blow horn to let someone in and got no sound at all.when fuse is replaced in garage,I can blow horn,put in reverse,turn CCU on and off with no problems.Seems to happen as soon as car begins moving.and not right at start, seems to happen after car is moving.
While in reality a blown fuse is not a major fix, but when it happens every time I drive, this gets old VERY quickly.Any and all suggestions and inputs will be greatly appreciated.
