no radio, no dome light?

Ok about a year ago my transmission mount went bad and when taking off the trans would bump/slam up against the bottom of the car. It did this for about a week until i got the new trans mount. Well one night before i had fixed the mount, i took off rater hard and when it bumped my radio quit working, along with my dome light. The (I believe) acc fuse had blown, when i try to replace the fuse it just keeps blowing. since then i have rewired my radio (now i have to manually turn it on) so that i can listen to music, but i still cant figure out what went wrong, my first though was there is a short somewhere butthat could take forever to find. Any ideas on the easiest way to fix it?

Re: no radio, no dome light?

I would look toward the neutral safety switch wiring and/or the backup lights wiring. This issue is most likely due to some wiring to the tranny.

See if you can get someone with a car lifet to raise it up and let you look around the trans... Maybe they will even let you fix it while its up there...

Just trying to help. Hope I did.
