You're missing one or more grounds. It's time for you to go back over your work, check all of the grounds, and make sure they're all there.

 

I did that but I'll go over it again

 

I mean, that's what it has to be. There are just too many wires in there to tell you exactly which one it is. Are you working with a modified OEM harness, or an aftermarket harness? If it's modified OEM, did you do the modification yourself, or did someone else?

 

It's a modified oem harness and I bought it already done

 

Unless you know for a fact that the harness wasn't screwed up (as in you physically saw and heard it running in another H swapped car), it would probably be worth your while to just get a new one that hasn't been molested, and modify it yourself.

 

You have a very big short. I have no idea why some one would assume its a ground situation.

Do you have a multimeter?

Look over your positive battery cables. (to the starter, fuse box and alternator.)

 

Yes I have a multimeter I'm thinking it's something to do with the chassis harness that's running to the fuse box I wasgoing to go through them all tomorrowI'm hoping it's something simple cuz I don't really want to pull out the dash To change harness

 

How many amps is the fuse thats blowing?

 

It's a 40 amp

 

This is the fuse here

 

40 amp fuse blowing. Thats a big obvious short.

Check your main power cables like i mentioned earlier. If it was a small 18-20 gauge wire those wires would be melted and you wouldve found the short by now
