Default Exhaust Module

I have 2013 Grand Sport 60 anniversary and I have a short circuit in exhaust Module fuse. I install a new fuse and immediately I turn on the engine the fuse broke. What can I do to check and fix that problem?

It's probably the vacuum solenoid that's fused. Happens often enough. To check if that's the problem, disconnect the electrical connection at the solenoid. The solenoid is located behind the passenger side taillights. The solenoid is not expensive, and it's a DIY replacement.
Here's a pic of the solenoid. I believe it's under a rubber cover which you need to peel back (I could be wrong).

Here's a write up of how to change it from the Z06 guys, but there's no difference - it's the same setup.

Mine was acting up, and the solenoid in back by the taillights was the fix.

I had the same problem - blowing the fuse. It was the module referenced above, easy fix.
