What fuse is this ?
My 68 big block convertible is blowing a 20 amp fuse as soon as I put the battery on, even without the ignition switch.
It's the top left hand fuse, can't read the text below the fuse anymore.
I think, it could be the power to the clock.
Any ideas, as I can drive the car normally without seing any malfunction.
By the way, my clock was never working.
Thanks Gunther

Thanks
Yes, my wiring diagram shows the lighter as well. The wiring to the lighter is laying loose under the console due to no lighter installed anymore.
( will stay a non smoker car for the rest of it's life )
The wire from the fuse panel to wherever has a proper short to ground.
I will just cut it off and pull a new one to the clock from the fuse, that's all I need it for as I fixed the clock.
Thanks again.

Gotta watch for change falling down into the lighter also.
Had a fuse problem a while back, tore the console out checked wires, everything.
Finally looked down into the lighter socket and found a penny.
Next stop Wal-mart for a "no smoking" lighter plug.

Hi
Found the problem, Bubba already had this long time ago ( the shorted to ground wire to the clock ), so he already pulled a second wire to the fuse box with a in line fuse, that was blown as well. Replacing this restored power to the clock and it works. :D
So for the time being, I will leave it as is.
Thanks
