Why does my TCM fuse keep blowing out?

The fuse isn’t blowing because there is no defect, and nothing to find. Grrr. You have a permanent short which is a real lot easier to find because you will know exactly when you do something that makes it go away. The bulb will go out or get dim. Start by unplugging items in that circuit.

How do you remove a blown fuse from a circuit breaker?

You may have to remove a prominent fuse block with fuse pullers (found at your local home improvement store). Unless the main power is turned off, use rubber gloves to remove the blown fuse.
