Chrysler Repair: 05 Chrysler Sebring blows Ign/Fuel Fuse INTT, noise suppressors, spark coils

Question
I am having the same issue with the fuse blowing when i try to start the car. The only difference is that it does not do it all the time. it happened a week ago then again today. after feeding it 3 fuses it started.???

Answer
Hi Brian,
Do you mean fuse #14 in the box under the hood? My shop manual doesn't give the name/purpose of the fuse so I must ask the number to be certain we are on 'the same page'.  That fuse is for the fuel injectors and the spark coils and the 2 noise suppressors, one mounted on each of the cylinder heads (look like capacitors, attached to the same wires as the spark coil on dark green/light green wire). You could put an ohmmeter on the 'cold' side of fuse 14 socket and try unplugging each of those items to see if the resistance reading jumps up as the result. It could either be a melted insulation on one of the wires that supplies all those items, or one of the noise suppressors is shorting out when it gets hot. You could check each of their resistances when cold, and then when the fuse blows stop and check them again to see if one now shows a dead short to ground.
