Blowing fuse

Just as I thought I was getting on top of the ranger 2006 4.2 sc

Blowing fuse f14 under the bonnet in the main fuse compartment.

Hdc and trans fault. Won’t start. Park neutral switch? Any thoughts on a direction to go in to find the issue on this one.

Many thanks

So back from work, started to have a poke about the range. Unplugged the trans and the PN switch. Put fuse in, didn’t blow plugged trans in and it didn’t blow…plugged PN switch in and pop it blew. So I unplugged the switch again and put a fuse in now it starts and drives as normal. Should it not start with the switch unplugged?

Can any tell me how I test the doodaa

Mines a deeedaaa

Check the wiring loom further up for any wear on it. A possible grounding maybe?

Fixed. So in conclusion, if fuse F14 in the main fuse compartment under the bonnet keeps blowing unplug the small black capacitor on the side of the gear box and check fuse again.

And make sure you replace it with a new one.
