basically its just a smaller gauge wire thats intended to melt when too much current goes through.. theres one right by your starter, and i think another one somewhere else.. run some searches on the electronics board and you'll get a plethora of information.

i'm pretty sure you didn't check the fuses correctly

there is a fuse that makes your hatch, horn, and radio work.

go check if your horn works. if it orks then i'm wrong, but if it doesn't i'm right and you should replace this fuse.

somehow the constant power wire doesnt work. i tapped into another wire from my alarm and got my radio to work. for the rear hatch. a wire came out of a harness. so its all fixed, thanks for the replies.
