A/C gets its power from the room 15a fuse, unswitched, and the accessory relay, switched, 7.5amp 'ACC' fuse.

A 7.5amp will blow if you just breath too heavy.....

okay so i fixed my problem i wana say thanks to everylone that gave me some onfo i wouldnt know what i would do with out you guys sometimes lol.

now the fix lol i feel stupid but when i was spicing my metra harness into my factory harness i miss read the colors on the wires lol you know one is blue with a red line and the other is blue with a orange line lol well after time the red faded or the tape that mazda used on the harness when i took it off made it look lighter but after going threw all that found that i cut the power wire instead of the speaker wire lol

my bad guys but thanks

Connect your ground to the rear seat belt anchor.
