Amplifier related fuse blow?

The fuse that is for my interior lights and radio and power locks always blows. I think it may be related to my amplifier set up. The radio doesn't even have to be on for the fuse to blow.

It is securely grounded to the spot which chrysler recommends grounding it (under passenger seat). This problem is very annoying.It seems to blow usually when the right passenger door is opened, but not always. Please help.

Judging by your description, it would seem like there's a short in one of the interior lights Naturally there's no way for me to be certain of anything (or even ponder anything more than a guess), but from your description, it seems like one of the interior light fixtures is either drawing too much current and/or has a short circuit to ground somewhere (could very likely be somewhere between the door jamb switch in your right passenger door and the interior light(s). It's possible there's a fault in the radio and/or the amplifier, but the fact that you say that the fuse blows even when they're off makes me tend to doubt that possibility. Sources: my opinion .

There could be a few things to check... First of all, you should check that your amplifier is powered with the correct gauge wires. If your amp lists power output of more than 250 watts, use 4-gauge and above. Trust me on this, I’ve seen cars catch on fire from wiring that’s too small.

Second, check to make sure that your amp is on its own power circuit. No connections to the fuse box, and the only connection to the radio should be RCA cables or a line out converter. Make sure that the positive power wire is secured sufficiently to the battery, and make sure that the grounding spot is free of paint, rust, and carpeting.

If all else is okay, get yourself a bigger fuse on your fuse box, and on your amplifier. If you can, have your electrical system checked out, and have an MECP certified installer look at your system. Being a Chrysler, there’s almost a definite chance that there’s a much better spot to ground the amp.

I personally grounded my 1400 watts RMS amp to the metal near a frame rail in my spare tire well.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
