Default fuse keeps blowing!!

my fuse that connects to my interior lights and my rear lights keep blowing...im thinking i have a short and its comming from my headunit because that was the last thing i touched...the dimmer and the power antenna wires are not connected and the wires are just hanging out...my friend told me to cut the wires and put tape over it...the ground wire is alos connected to the metal on the other wire but does that need to be taped up too? thanks for the help...

dude, I had the same thing happen to my teggie last week. I took it to Crown Acura and they charged me $129 to find and fix the problem b/c I didn't have the time or the know-how to figure it out myself. The guy who owned it before had a competition stereo or something and a few wires were touching in the engine compartment. You might want to check again to see if any wires are touching each other or something else.

Hope this helps...

be sure everything is grounded...and no wires are touching metal, or other wires.

tape up anything and everything that may be exposed... that's a quick and easy way to blow fuses..

also, make sure you didn't damage anything else during the install like the cigarette lighter
