I have a 95 240SX that keeps blowing ignition fuses. I took it in to get fixed, they replaced the ignition relay's but the problem still occurs. Any ideas???


Just another 240

clearly a short, the question is where.

check all related wiring harness connections.

is the starter original?

I answered his question in the 240 section here >> http://nicoclub.com/zerothread?id=16183

It is a design fault in the layout of the main harness on S14's. After the injectors it runs down and around the head to the dist / maf. On the front left top side of the head there is a bolt the harness rests on eventually eating through the harness and the primary ignition wire, oddly enough.

I told him how to fix it and he said it worked and havent heard back yet...
