hello, the other day i was connecting my tbi injector cables when the red one from the elft touched the caburator, the car went dead cold and i was sad =/

so i brought some asian guys who know their ways around electricals and they said i cooked my main 40amp fuse, now, being asians they didnt know where it was located in my 88 rs camaro, we found the under dash fuses but it wasnt there, where could i find this 40amp fuse? thanks

Re: Cooked

well if they are so sure about the fuse being blown, how can they really tell without seeing it? but i suppose it is possible, there should be another fuse box under the hood on the driver side of the engine compartment. if the fuses arent labeled or you dont have the owner's manual just check them all to see if any them are burnt.

For the FI cars there are fuses on the pass side fender under the hood in weather pack connectors, hidding a fuse inside.
