ok in my 95 teggy my friend locked my keys in the car while it was on but not running, so my head unit and everything was on. then about 4 or 5 hours later i finally got my spare key and now my head unit and clock arent working. it's the 7.5 fuse under the hood thats blown and right when i stick a new fuse in it immediatly blows. i disconnected my head unit and its still doing it. and i couldnt find any bare wire touching anything so far.
has anyone else had this problem before or know what it could be?
thanks for the help.

 

Which fuse is it for?

 

just throwing this out there, but you disconnected the battery when replacing the fuse right?

 

it's the 7.5 back up fuse under the hood


yupp, right when the battery plugs in it sparks and blows.

 

Hmmm......Thats weird. Did you do anything else to it when you were trying to get in?

 

no i dont think so lol. i'll probably end up loosening the dash up today and checking all the wires and what not.

 

lol man that is going to suck when you find out it was something EASY lol but Good luck.

 

that 7.5 fuse is also the resett for the ecm. when you blow a fuse you have a short to ground.

 

you say head unit, do you have an amp wired to your battery? you should check for continuity between your engine bay grounds, especially the negative terminal on the battery to the chassis where it bolts to it. if you pulled both terminals the negative terminal wire could not be contacting the battery properly.

 

well i dont know what the heck it was but i messed with the wires and it's working now. thanks for the help. i'm going on a 5 hour trip tomorrow and that would be pretty shitty not having music lol.
