So i was switching the interior over yesterday into the T/A and the last thing to be done was the wire the radio in, well in my stupidity i just cut a bunch of wires off the old harness, not realixing that my metal wire cutter cut the power and ground at the same time, blowing the ACC fuse(which i replaced) and sparking and creating a small puff of smoke. QUestion is, my power accessories dont work, and i replaced the fuse, so i obviously shorted something out correctly? Im stupid when it comes to wires, what would i do in this situation? Did i like fry out the fires? or what, im not really sure what happened?

 

Anyone have any direction to point me in on solving this?


Thanks
Chris

 

 

lit the fuse?

 

Saber I found myself in a similar situation recently when removing an old alarm. I had blown a fuse that wasnt even related to or in the proximity of the wire I cut. I believe Nina was just saying check all your fuses not just the one you replaced, since the power could have gone anywhere as you were cutting them.

 

I have checked all fuses, funny thing is not one has blown since. All my power accessories just dont work. All my fuses in the fuse panel are not blown at all. Is there anywhere else to check? Im guessing i shorted one of the wires and am going to have to trace the wires back to the fuse panel and find the short. Is there anything else that could have blown? like a fuseable link or something?
