Fuse #43 supplies power to the #3  ignition coils. Perform a visual inspection of the wiring around those two coils. If no problem is found try disconnecting one coil at a time to see if the short goes away. This is assuming that the fuse blows as soon as the ignition is switched on. I do not recommend running the engine with a coil disconnected since unburned fuel can damage the catalytic converter. Also look for places around the transmission where a wiring harness may be laying on a sharp edge or a bolt. The wire will be pink with a black stripe when you find it. |
