Problem: Dead car, wont start
Summary: Performing maintenance on the car, specifically thawing out frozen radiator. In the process of performing this maintenance a wiring harness needed to be moved. Due to the cold, harness was not very flexible but workable.
In completion of the work, wiring harness was moved one last time at which point the engine shut off.
Checks:
Ignition system checked, spark good
Checked fuses, all checked out good
Fuel pressure checked, pressure good at Schrader valve
Fuel pump relay good
Fix:
10A Fuse protecting the fuel system found blown
I would do one other thing. The harness should not have transfered movement enough to the fuse box center to cause a short. Furthermore, all that movement during the time of pulling out and putting back in the radiator didnt cause any issues. It wasnt until, you stated, you pulled the harness back over the radiator cap if I understand correctly. So I would check that area of the harnes for anything that may be nicked or could have came in contact with ground. Its the only thing I can think of that could have blown the fuse. Something shorted out obviously. The fact you replaced the fuse and everything is running good now tells me it was a temporary short, which further tells me that something in the final act of moving that harness made a wire related to that fuse to short out.
