in my s14

All i wanted to do was put a head unit in my car.

i have managed to mess the whole thing up. I obviously messed the wiring up.

i removed every wire that i added today and taped the ends of it just to be sure.

The car will not start, the blower motor will not come on, the turn signals will not come on. Same with the power windows and door locks, and the sun roof. none of that works. Needless to say i dont have music in my car.

The head lights, tail lights, dome light, hazard lights and cluster lights all come on.

i've checked every fuse 3 times.

im never doing electrical shit on my car again. not even changing a head light.

Check your ALT fuse again.... 75a....

Sounds like your problem, tell me if you can turn ur headlights on, but they won't flip up.

i checked that fuse 3 times.

AndyCs13 · 03-06-2009, 06:53 PM

so apparently 4 times is the magic number when it comes to checking fuses.

stupid ignition fuse.

Giving up is for the weak. How are you gonna learn? For future reference, when things like that stop working, look at a wiring diagram and look for a common ground, fuse, power wire that runs those items. The ignition fuse is obviously the link in the running those items.
