blowing fuses

alright, for some reason, every time that i spray, i blow the inline fuse between the battery and the solenoids.....i thought it was the wiring at first, but then i rewired the whole system, and it still does it.....

i'm at a loss, don't really know what it could be. its gettin kinda annoying to have to change the fuse everytime that i spray my car.

any ideas would be great....

sounds like a short somewhere. U make sure that no grounds are connect to and + leads? Are you running a relay? What instructions are you going off of?

it's wired up per nitrous express's instructions, using the provided harness, and there are grounds.....i'm using a 20 amo fuse, is that the right one? it came with a 20 amp fuse when i bought the kit.......

recheck your ground this is almost always a sign of ground problems, or power line touching somewhere or wires crossed.

Its probably shorted to a ground. You can use a multimeter and see if you have any power on your ground, if you do then thats your problem.
