below the coolant tank and they were bolted tight to the firewall. Any ideas as to why the fuse keeps shorting out?

Here are the codes he has when the fuse is blown:

After replacing the fuse and clearing the codes, more than half go away and the car is no longer in limp mode. He has these codes with a working fuse:

Did you check the ground on the bottom side of the passenger bumper shock support?

Z-Tuned (Alex)

No, I didn't. Can you check it without popping the bumper off? I'll tell him to check it tomorrow.

seeya

so i don't know if you can get to it without removing the bumper, you will have to remove the belly pan...

Z-Tuned (Alex)

Appreciate it, YGM.

Was this issue ever solved? I have the same problem..desperate for answers!

I know this place is a ghost town, but for archives sake. My problem was the passenger side cam tensioner solenoid. It was causing the short. Replace the solenoid by itself, not necessary to replace the whole cam tensioner. The solenoid is just 2 little screws, R&R in 15 minutes total. Good as new.

But you will have to find someone parting a car out, as the dealer and parts reps, will not seperate the solenoid from the cam tensioner.
