i have an electrical short??
« on: July 26, 2006, 07:30:47 pm »
hello all,


i tried to plug a 12v tire pump and i saw a spark , naturelly i thought there goes a fuse but all the fuses are good.

at the same time i lost the horn and the radio does not come on at all.

any ideas?

start by seeing if the horn and radio are on the same fuse,  after that just go over the wiring to them.

well i have the stock radio,   everything is original setup.

are there parts connected to any type of relay and not a fuse - if that makes any sense. if not can someone explain to me why so i can learn some electronices.

I'm not sure about the stock stereo, but some have fuses on the back of them.
