thats a link to my car my first camaro!

but now i now i think why some fuses are higher then what they were rated.. i think the previous owner wired up a stereo deck with the car accessories because i was attempting to repair my tonneau release switch and i was adjusting the little plastic spring loaded switch that confirms the trunks closed so the tonneau can open. the safety switch! i had music playing and then when i closed my trunk everything went off and the accessory fuse broke. and the music was off and the audio fuse was not broken. Sounds like a right diagnosis?

heres the safety switch im talking bout http://i1280.photobucket.com/albums/...ps73ab77d1.jpg
and i found a random switch that s hooked up to it..whats it for if anyone knows let me know!

Re: attepting to fix horn and whatever else electrical problems

it's been awhile but the random switch almost looks like the rear hatch light swithc part, is that the cargo area, cuz it looks like the rear hatch motor, anyways that's what I think best of luck
