Fried a power wire, can I tap into a near by wire?
I was installing a new HU, and accidently touched the constant power wire to a piece of metal, it made a small spark, and now I don't get any power out of that wire. I checked all my fuses and none of them are burned. Is there a constant power wire I can tap into to power my HU?
This is on a 94 Civic Hatch.

you popped a fuse man
if you HAVE TO the best way is to just run a new wire from the battery. make SURE you put a fuse in it. i had to run a power wire (still have no idea whats wrong, also my clock is jacked)

you need a constant 12v source for the deck.

I checked all my fuses, and they are fine. Is there any other wire I can tap into?
you probably blew the backup fuse that is under the hood on the passenger side strut tower..

I did this, clock has power while car is on but doesn't retain time settings. Check under the hood, by the battery. It's a maroon fuse, says "7.5" on it. Change that **** and you're good to go!

the constant for the clock and the radio are the same wire... just run a new wire with a fuse and split it...
i just had to do the same thing last month

well, troubleshooting without a meter is definitely not a good idea.(of corse I know this by your posts. With a meter you can check if you have power to thay wire or not, if the wire may still be shorted, if you have 12v switched, etc. I would recommend picking one of these up. And if you just WONT run a new wire from your battery(fused), then tap into your main ignition at the column.(fuse it) Just like an alarm.
