I have a Garmin GPS that was installed at circuit city. The installed a cigarette lighter type outlet under the dash and ran the GPS cable into that. When I turn on my windshield wipers my GPS fuse shorts.

Any ideas?

 

Circuit City sucks at wiring.

I wouldn't trust them ever haha.

What year car helps.

Could be a NSX for all I know

 

2002 Accord SE - thanks

 

Wires could be touching...Have you taken a look at the wiring?

 

 

If it was installed recently I'd bring it back to them and tell them to fix it on their dime.

what he said

 

Word. They messed something up. It shouldn't be on you to fix it.

 

they probably grabbed power from the wipers. do the windshield wipers stop working too? they might have even grabbed the wrong wire thinking it was something else and its either over drawing on the fuse, or grounding it out.

I wouldn't care when it was installed, they obviously did a jacked wiring job. Take it in there and demand a free fix, that's bush.
