Electrical Problem
 

Hey guys, I was trying to get my custom deck installed and what not, i already had a metra kit installed, so it was suppose to be a simple installation...so much for that. I am a newb to this and i wanted to learn about all of these things myself. What happened was there was a mistake and a cross up with wires and i believed i had blew a fuse.

My key less unit doesn't open the trunk, doors, etc...,I have to use the physical key to start the car. i have no interior lights, the little unit above the center console doesn't turn on. no beeping that the door is open or the lights are left on etc...I cant even open the trunk with the button underneath the steering wheel.

So i opened up the fuse box that was on the driver side, I went threw all of them and they all looked good except one for the interior light section. Havent been able to replace it yet, but i dont think that 1 will solve all of my problems will it?

So i then opened the main fuse block underneath the hood, from 2-8 (those bigger fuses) i had problems taking out, cant get my hands in there.

Also, anyone have any tips on what it could be or where i should go from here? Also do you know how i can get those bigger fuses that i listed have to be taken out, from the top i can see threw it i dont know if thats the actual circuit or not.

You need a way to check all the fuses.....like a meter.
Anyway, you for sure blew the "room" fuse. So you need to get that fixed.......you sure you don't have any spares? See the below photo.


Also, you better check #4 and #8 in the engine bay as well. See the pdf file for those.

The room fuse controls a lot more then you think. I blew mine and had very similar symptoms. I bet if you replace it most , if not all of your problems will be gone.

Just thought i would give everyone an update. The fuse for the interior lights was indeed what caused my car to go crazy. Thanks for your help you guys! Much appreciated.
