Hi,
I recently modded my 05 and installed a screen and a new head unit, The screen is tapped into the ground for the head unit and the power for the head unit.
The ground is on the metal tube in the dash and the hotwire is off the ignition switch.
The head unit is connected with a aftermarket wire connector that plugs right into the factory plug.
Everything was working great! Today I got in my car and I had no power to the screen, head unit, clock on the dash panel or 12v outlets.
I checked all the fuses under the hood all of them checked out fine except two of them, I belive they were 10's, I dont recall the posistion of them right now, key on or off these two would'nt light up.
The fuse on the head unit was fine, the fuse going to the screen was blown, and I also noticed that the wire for the screen had gotten a little hot and melted. I fixed that, replaced the fuse... and still nothing.. no screen, dashpanel clock, head unit or 12v outlets.
If I check the aftermarket plug going to the factory plug, there's no power with the key on.
The constant is fine and lights up bright!
I didnt check the plug directly at the factory connector, But I'm sure that's dead as well.
Could it be possible I fried the relay? I would appreciate it if anyone could point me in the right direction or if someone had any further things for me to check.
I have a Chilton's Manual but it's not very detailed, I'm stuck,, bummed out and praying I didnt fry anything really bad... I do have all the lights on the dash panel still, the only thing that doesnt light up is the clock.
Thanks for any assistance!!!
