i have a 94 gsr and today during a steering wheel swap something must have shorted out. i lost all power to everything. i checked all fuses under hood and dash and the backup fuse under the hood was blown. i replaced it and still nothing. no other fuse was bad. i checked everyone with a test light and i have power. with key turned on or off i have nothing no headlights dome light nothing. any ideas before i have to let someone rape me to fix it?????

 

where in pa are you?
i may be able to take a look at it for you..
shoot me an e-mail Jonnyvtecsi@aol.com

 

ill let u know have a few more things to try..... no one has any ideas?

 

do you check the fuses are you try turning the lights on to see if they blew again? when i bought my car the only lights that worked was headlights and just brake lights. My problem was i kept blowin fuses so i put a higher amp fuse and its been good since

 

try jump starting it.

 

Did you mess with the ignition switch/wires at all?

 

yea i have no lights at all. the battery is fully charged and every fuse under the hood is good. there is also power coming out of both fuse boxes. the ignition is the only thing i can think of but would that kill everything? i have no light not even interior dome....

 

on my street bike the wire going to the ignition got pulled out just a tiny bit and i couldnt get a light on the damn thing to turn on and it killed everything eletrical, it pissed me off for weeks screwing with batteries, fuses, relays, wires and all i needed to do was connect that wire in better

 

yea so far that seem like that might b the problem. i didnt mess with them but i guess i could have bumped them or something. i just didnt think it would kill everything.

 

Are you sure all of the fuses are good though? You mentioned you tested them with a wire tester, but IDK how you would do that. You need to physically look at the fuses to make sure they aren't blown. Testing the socket where the fuse plugs in doesn't tell you anything, because they will be on regardless if the fuse is good.

 

except a fuse wouldn't kill every piece of electronic equiptment on the car...

 

yes they are all good. the mains under the hood will only put power to both sides of the fuse if the fuse is good. if a fuse is bad only one side of the screws on the fuses will light up. i have good fuses under the hood and under the dash and i have constant power to both of them with the key off. but when i try 2 turn the key nothing comes on.

 

idk if it has anything to do with the SRS or not. i took the stock steering wheel and airbag out months ago with no problem this time i have no idea what went wrong
