    Figured it out. I determined the right cooling fan was not working at all and was causing fuses to blow. I replaced it. When I got it out I could tell it was binding. Once I replaced it the fan worked fine. The left fan would only work on High speed. So I imagine the ballast resistor was gone but I replaced the entire fan assembly with ballast resistor. Once I did this it too worked correctly. I figure this out by taking out the relay's and using a jumper wire to test. When I did this the fuses would blow right away. Next thing I will check using my Durametric is the engine bay cooling fan. Thanks all for your help!

    Thanks Loren, I ordered the parts and will replace once I get them. MikeFocke, will check ground. I think once I replace the fuse block going to find a good auto electrical shop and have them take a look.

    I live in RI. It has been exceptionally warm past couple of weeks but when the Heater fan and fuel pump fuses melted it was much cooler around 40-50. No electrical mods factory radio, no nav. I have used compressed air to make sure drains are clear in fact when I wash the car and pull it into the garage there are puddles right behind the front wheels where, I think the drains are.

    a couple months ago my 99 boxster just died out. had it towed to the dealer and the fuse for the fuel pump melted to the fuse block. Dealer order new fuse block and replaced the block for the fuel pump and car ran fine for a while. Also, a couple weeks prior to that the fuse for the heater blower melted too but I was able to get it out and replace it. Last week we are driving and my coolant light is flashing, was able to limp home. One of the fuses for the coolant fan tripped and the other melted so now I have to replace another fuse block in the fuse box. Any ideas what would cause this? The dealer said the buse block looked like there was some corrosion on it and I noticed too the blades on some of the fuses looked corroded maybe dampness? Anyone know the part numbers for the fuse blocks, the piece that fits into the fuse box where the fuse pop into? I am trying to get another fuse block from someone who is parting out theirs. I have never seen this happen before.

    I cannot get the cover off. I was able to unscrew one T27 torx but the other is stripped inside where the torx wrench goes. I am figuring I will have to drill the had off then pull the cover off from the front of the steering wheel. Unless anyone has a better idea? Anyone know the part numbers for these 2 screws? The 2 that screw in from the back of the steering wheel that hold the front cover on? I have a 4 spoke wheel and tiptronic.

    the sagging bushings cause the horns to be on permanently or when you go over a bump. Yours like mine dont work at all. I also have the clicking. I bought new horns and am plannig on replacing and hopefully that will solve the problem. New horns are relatively inexpensive. Unfortunately I live in the Northeast and with the weather have not had the opportunity to work on the car in the driveway.
