    Ah crap, somebody help me

    So I just installed my grounding kit. All goes as well as it was expected to. I start up there car and holy crap it started up.

    So here is why I need your help badly. The car starts, but none of the electronics work really:

    *Headlights don't work
    *Stereo doesn't work
    *Gauges don't light up
    *Dome light only works when in "on" position, not when doors open
    *Power windows/locks don't work
    *Taillights don't work

    Those are just the things I noticed.

    I checked the fuse box and the 100 amp fuse was blown to hell and back. Is this the problem or damn did I screw something up?

    Its an 03 if that helps.

    -brandon.

    you're going to have to go through and check a bunch of the fuses. also I'd start praying it only fried a few fuses and not the entire ECU.

    I was thinking my ecu, but everything runs fine w/ the exception of headlights and such and the fact I do have a blown fuse I'm hoping will fix it.

    well, I'd get all the fuses fixed before starting it up again. then if you still have problems you may have burnt out the DRL relay or who knows what.. hopefully it wont get to that point

    re-check your connections and if you did them correctly obviously there is a short somewhere. and if ur ECU was fried then the car would not start at all or there whould be serious malfuctions.

    You definately shorted something. Check all your wires to see that your new new ground wires did not touch any power wires before you blow something else.

    Yeah everything is okay. I changed out my 100a alternator fuse and it runs beautifully.

    Sorry it took a few days to respond, my g/f came in town from gainsville and I was spending time with her.
