i think the reason he got on your case was because you posted in the incorrect section. although the guy did take 4 days just to flame you. that's plain lame on his part.

but anyway, i wouldnt bump up to the next size fuse if you have a short. thats the ghetto and unsafe way of doing things.

perhaps you can try a different clock? track down the short... maybe the wiring harness was drilled into when someone installed a stereo? stranger things have happened.

LOL. What I said was very lame, but so was your lack of reading and awarness of the site. As stated above its called a flame. Hopefully you will learn from it as we all do.

That is exactly the reason. I just realized that the poor guy had gone unanswered for days and figured I would point him in the right direction. It was a poor way to do so and lame, sadly that's how it goes some times.

that's exactly what i was gonna say. Try a different clock. that'd be where i start. if it keeps doing it, check the wiring behind the dash, where the radio would be. any frays, nicks, cuts, anything, fix em up. go from there.
