did something wrong.

Well I was hooking up my Amp in my car. I had the wires bare(the ends) and then somehow they touched. Meanwhile I had the Radio on and Guage Cluster(console) on (Keys turned forward one click). While the wires touched they blew the radio fuse. And im not sure about the guage cluster fuse cuz its a big fuse and I cant look in it because its non see thru fuse. So I dont know if it blew the non-see thru fuse aswell. Or if I fucked up something else other then the fuse, like killing the computer. So in conclusion the car wont start now because the gauge cluster doesnt have any power. Battery is good. What do you guys think>?

the wires that touched where they power wires for the amp or inputs from the radio?

why were you doing this without the battery uhooked or the keys not in the ignition ???. check the side panel, prolly took a bunch of stuff out.

I didnt think the wires would connect but somehow they did. I checked all the see thru fuses. Replaced the radio fuse which was blown. I just don't know about the other fuses that you cant check if there blown.

test em? hook up a small battery through it and test for voltage/current/ watever

or you can just use a multi meter lol

o ur rite...i guess the powered ones can create their own current cant they? lol i was just throwin out an idea, never had to test a fuse

there's a couple of fuses under the hood too right above the airbox...maybe take a look at those too

it's probably just a fuse...i highly doubt you fryed your ecu
