95' Celica AM2 Fuse Problem, AM2 Fuse keeps blowing Options

[Poonicus]

I've had this Celica for about 5-6 months and I haven't had a problem with it until last month. I was on my way home and it just shut off on me, had power to everything, but the engine wasn't running and the car wouldn't even try to crank.. So, I towed it back home and after trial and error on it for 5 days or so. I had replaced every relay under the hood and the ignitor and then I replaced the AM2 fuse. It ran fine from about the 6th of April till yesterday when the same problem arose again and I just don't have any idea what it could be other than a bad wire in the wiring harness or something shorting out somewhere causing the AM2 Fuse to keep blowing. I know that the problem is link to that fuse because I can replace the fuse and it will crank but then the fuse blows and I'm back to square one. Any help would be appreciated. I love this car and I would really like to get it running again.

Have you had any luck with this yet? Electrical problems can be a pain to find but normally follow a logical sequence. The AM2 fuse feeds through the ignition switch to a lot of components in the car, but in Toyota's reliable style, its normally where changes have been made that faults lie. Good starting point is to identify any mods that have been made then double check if they are causing any problems, then work through from there. Fuel injector wires are a good check, but if the lights have been changed in the dash or any work has been done around the steering column all the way through to the engine bay something could have been pinched and shorted. If you have a wiring diagram, it will help tracing the problem, but in my experience it often ends up being where someone has previously messed about that you find the issue.
Good luck
