Electrical Gremlins haunting my baby
So I finally got the wiring figured out on my subwoofer (that I buggered a while back ) and tried to turn the radio on to check. No juice. Seems the 10amp fuse was blown. But when I replaced the fuse it immediately blew again. And a third one blew. I know electrical gremlins are hard to chase, but I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas where to begin on this? I have no interior lights and no tunes.

Did you install the radio yourself?
Pull the radio out and check the harness. Use a meter to check to see if the red wire is shorted to ground. Check the yellow wire to see if there is still +12V

also the remote wire to the amp could be shorting to chassis ground
depending where u ran the wire, u could've nicked it.....im pretty sure that'll pop the radio fuse (possibly amp fuse tho)...ask me how i kno

I can live with it, but as you might guess, wiring is my achilles tendon & I'm afraid the XJ might burn to the ground or something, since there's a short somewhere. So I need to get this fixed.
