Check out the DLC under the steering wheel area, also called the OBDII connector make sure none of the pins have pushed out or are shorting.
Thank you and i did but everything is ok. But i checked th dlc code while i was at it and fiund a p0481 code?
Can that be the reasin because the car has totalky integrated power module
Acctually let me say whats going on i turn my car on and it stays on for like 3 secs then turns off because it blows that #33 fuse. It was showing a p0481 code but as i was checking the different things wrong with this code I guess it went away. But I still have the fuse blowing out? The car starts fine idles fine for those 3 secs but then cuts off. All electrical components work except for the DLC when it does blow out. It doesn't give power to power the scan tool tha I have

Cooling fan relay code a short to ground burning fuse 33 Check the harness and connectors until you locate the issue relay is suspect too.
My 2008 dodge avenger having the same exact problem....did you figure out what happen
More than likely this problem either presents because the ABS module, OBD connector, or the engine computer itself (or wires leading to one of these) are shorting out against a ground. In my case, my engine computer appears to have gone bad. I had this 10A fuse blow, replaced with a spare 15A, and the next day while driving on the highway, the diagnostic lights went crazy, i lost acceleration, and then the engine died. The replacement fuse hadn't blown, all electrical instrumentation, windows, and lights worked but my OBD reader couldn't get a connection to the ECM/PCM (computer), so I'm likely looking at a bad computer which doesn't surprise me because the housing for it is pretty rusted. Should be a $50 part at a local scrapyard. Hopefully that helps others out. FYI, jumper 33 is labeled: ABS MOD/J1962 Conn/PCM
