Have you tried the one under the battery?

Do you have a battery cover?

Daven

PS steam cleaners should not be used on the Scorpio - bad news, get the garage to repair!!!

AFAIK the fusebox has multiple layers under the fuses - maybe the short is there, maybe a hairdryer will help (leave over night as well).

I assume the fuses blow as soon as you turn the key, indicating the short is at the fusebox and not the component!

Good luck

Hi Steve

Sounds like the dreaded water in the fuse box.

Get the hair dryer out and pray that that will qure you problem as daven suggested.
