2001 Ford Crown Victoria Other - Electrical & Lighting Systems

Question: The Power door locks, Power Seats and Trunk Lid Release do not function. Fuse relay #7 20A CB controls these operations and when trying to pull it out I find that it is very hot and I mean HOT. The fuse is in a metal cover and so I left it out as I was afraid it may cause a fire or melt down. When I first went out to the car all functioned normal when I stopped and then locked the door's, on returning I could not get into the car only by using the key. Would appreciate some Ideas. Tom

Technican: Hello, A short exists on one of the systems that the circuit breaker protects. The circuit breaker resets and trips repeatedly and HEAT builds up within the breaker as it tries to protect the wiring from a meltdown. Look for a stuck switch that controls each power seat. Disconnect the seat switches one at a time and see if power restores to the remaining connected components on the circuit. Look under each power seat at the wiring to the seat motors. Are any wires pinched or insulation cut on a bracket? Are any connectors cocked from getting caught on an item stuffed under the seat? Has there been a fluid spill across any related switch? Note, I've burned my hands on a hot circuit breaker plugged into a fuse panel more than once. But provided it is the correct amp rating circuit breaker called for I've never seen it cause an electrical fire. Your caution is wisdom, be safe.

Technican: How are you doing here? I'd like to help.
