Fuse

Hello! my second post on this website and got another question. I have a problem with this 15a fuse for the 41(position in handbook). It's for the HEGO sensors,EVAP canister vent valve,EGR stepper motor. I had to replace it twice because it burnt out. obviously it's not the fuses fault. I'm wondering if there is a bigger issue with the fuse box itself or maybe a bad wiring. Ran codes and they all are the PO141,PO153,PO155. stuff with the oxygen sensors. I don't want to keep replacing them because I feel like it's a bad wire somewhere. thanks again! 3.0 v6 2005 edge btw.

First thing I'd check is to make sure I'm installing the correct-sized fuse. Someone may have blown a 20 amp, but only had a 15 so they stuck that in to get going. If you're simply replacing what's installed, that may be the issue. Check the manual for the correct size.

NO! You should find what is causing the fault.
