Hey everyone, just a quick question:

I was installing a new head unit in my car, and i think the battery line grounded out, because now my clock is gone, my trip odometers reset every time i start the car, and the stereo doesn't turn on. I looked around the fuse boxes but i dont know which one is the culprit. anybody know? Thanks in advance.

You just have something hooked up wrong.
The trip odometers will reset if they are not grounded - so will the clock and the radio preset stations - you need to ground those.

If a fuse blew - they would never work because there would be an open in the circuit.

 

i dont see what's wrong though cause the radio isnt hooked up, and the clock doesnt even show up. when i try to hook up the radio, it won't turn on. isn't there a fuse related to that somewhere?

 

clock/radio(ecu) fuse in the engine compartment fuse panel

 

check the under-hood fuse box for a bog 100 amp fuse, these tend to blow when you ground the battery. it's not like the normal blade-type fuses though, there are 2 screws holding it down, and it has a clear top so you can actually check if its blown without removing it. thats happened to me when i grounded the alternator with a wrench while replacing the belt.
