Hello everyone,

Just a got a 350z 2003 with automatic.

Issue:Fuse keeps blowing and car won't start
Fuse is located under steering wheel 10amp fuse top row far left.

The service light will shut off once the issue occurs car cranks but won't start up. Previous owner said that it ran then fuse kept blowing.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

I believe that would be the injection fuse, so the first question is what aftermarket wiring is in the car? stereo? additional lights? chances are someone wired something wrong.

You have a dead short circuit or incorrect wiring, start tracing, making visual inspection of the harness.
When you have a direct short circuit, the blown fuse would look dark.
Sometimes with incorrect wiring, would open the fuse ( no discoloration)
Keep us informed
