couple days ago i was swappin out the stock radio/casette on my 92 civic ex for a cheap aftermarket. After i got all the wires matched i was putting it into the dash when i accidently i touched a piece of bare wire on my ground constant wire on a screw in the dash..sparks flew and my cig lighter, stereo, climate control has no power anymore...i checked all fuses everything looks good but still no power. I have no idea what the problem could be ..any suggestions?

just a note: it was the ground constant wire on the center console wire harness that touched the screw

 

Next time disconnect your battery when working with the electrical...double check those fuses, i bet you blew one of them for sure.

Did you check the fuses under the hood? Most likely its one of those.

 

every fuse in the car has been checked and double checked..cant understand why im not getting power to anything?

 

it is either a fuse or a ralay

 

Check ALL other wires AGAIN! Reset your ECU. Pull that fuse, in the engine bay,,, check it,,, Hold out for 15 seconds, place back in and retry. See if that works.

 

prolly gunna get nailed for this lol..how do I reset my ecu?

 

Pull the fuse for 15 seconds.

You will notice a little seat of-your-pants performance difference too!

Good anti-theft devise, too.

 

gotcha..thanks
