Fuses That "Blow" Repeatedly
Fuses and Circuit Breakers are safety devices designed and installed in electrical circuits TO PROTECT the conductors [wires] from short circuits and overload conditions which can cause extreme overheating that can result in damage to the insulation and the conductors, and worse, the possibility of a FIRE which could destroy the vehicle, house, or other structure.
When a fuse and replacement fuses blow, especially if it happens repeatedly, is an indication of an UNSAFE CONDITION in that circuit, usually a short.
The proper "fix" is for a qualified technician, who knows what he/she is doing, to troubleshoot the circuit, find and identify the defect, and make proper repair [s], BEFORE replacing the fuse again [with the properly sized fuse or circuit breaker]. Some ignorant few will suggest installing a larger fuse or breaker to solve the problem, BUT that will only amplify the problem, not solve it.
Do not install a larger fuse in a misguided attempt to correct the problem. To install a larger fuse would almost guarantee damage to the wiring and an electrical system fire.

What if your ignition coil keeps blowing-- i have replaced it twice and replaced the injector --i have been told its the ecu--what is in between the ignition coil and the ecu in a 2002 Toyota Echo?
Wire , lots and lots of wiring , but you need to be more specific , a Echo uses 4 coils , 1 for each cylinder , and being a mechanic myself at a Toyota dealership , this is rare. Make sure your not having condensation problems , ex water around the coils , as this will cause arcing and it will look like the coil is not delivering its spark.

Your 1990 Chevy lumina keeps blowing the DIS 10 amp fuse when i turn the ignition on. someone please help me?
If the 1990 Chevy Lumina is blowing the DIS 10 Amp fuse when the ignition is on, check to make sure that all wires coming from this fuse are grounded properly. Also check to make sure the starter is wired properly. There could also be a loose wire in the dash near the ignition.
