No start acc cigar and aux power fuse short?
Hi guys,
My car wont start. I was playing music with the key in the on position this morning when my dd metra kited android radio went blank along with my display. I have my subwoofer's remote wire attached to it via the leg of a 5amp fuse in the acc slotp. I cant find 7.5 in stores. It blows 1 or 2 times a week. Not sure if it's the metra kit the sub or something else.
When the key is in acc position i get no power from the ac acc aux or cigar fuses, but when in the on position I get 7v from all except the ac position which reads 12.
Checked my eng ignition fuses fine engine comp fine. No clicks no sounds nothing. I think i fried something.

7V sounds like you have a few loads wired in weird series on a 12v source. Instead of all loads wired directly to 12v.
Did you always get 7V there or is this new?
It's been years since I did audio but shouldn't the remote wire be on a light duty switch? Even 5 amps sounds like way too much for that purpose.
Long story short, I would start disconnecting components one by one until it works or the behavior changes somehow.

Forgot to mention that the 12v cigarette lighters stopped charging my phone but the fuse never blew. Maybe that's a clue.
