Did a wire tuck on my car (00 accord ex sedan). Problem is though, head lights are out (High and low beam). Radiator fans not turning on. Temp gauge in cluster is out. With my lack of knowledge, I think I should have just changed the grounds. I did my soldering with lead rosin core solder. I cut out some of the soldering and put in crimps, still no voltage (light tester). I'm thinking I may have blown a maxi fuse or 2 in relay box. Could it be the soldering (increase in resistence) or the power cable (lowered resistence)? Since the original set up, I went back to oem power cables, and made better grounds. If it were a maxi fuse or 2, which 2 could it be (noobery). Thank-you

Out of sheer curiosity why would you attempt a "wire tuck" without knowledge of how to do one properly?

Solder is the best form of connection - covered in shrink wrap. Without any idea of what wires you cut, moved, removed, etc no one is goign to be able to help you online.

I just hope you disconnected the battery before doing any cutting period. You had the potential to fry something easily without doing that. Wires you can't see because they're covered, etc.

I strongly suggest you take it to a professional to have them check the wiring.

 

Yeah, I know. I'm an idiot haha (and people love to see me fail too). I know enough to disconnect the battery. I was wondering if I could have blew out the relays? If my car catches on fire, then it does. I'm not going anywhere any time soon.

 

Relays all good (swapped to horn relay to check). Turned out to be a short in the passenger side multiplex. Good lookin out though!
