I just went through this!

I suggest (if you havent already havent) switching your fusable links for fuses like the ones in the picture in this link. You will need to put in PINK GREEN PINK (30-40-30) and there is a pic of this in the second link.

DONT buy them at the local auto parts store, as you will pay $5 each, rathe buy them at a wrecker and they will either be free, or something like $5 for 10, etc........

Now before you reinstall the fuses, get some electrical connection cleaner, and a coarse pipe cleaner (or something that fits) and give the connections on that main brown fuse box a good scrub!

This is what I did, and I have not had a fuse blow since I posted this HELP thread over a month ago!http://www.fordfestiva.com/forums/sh...ight=Main+fuse

Good luck!

fixed. my hot wire was coming undone and grounding causing the main fuse to blow.

I knew you'd get it. What wire was loose? Then one attached to the bootom of the fuse link block?

That's the one nitro. And again thanks for your write up on this
