DON'T put a heavier fuse in there unless you want to damage the wiring or start a fire.
The rest is trial and error. What did you do last? What causes it to pop?

haha too late...i put a 40 in not thinking and my dash started to smoke so i ripped it out as fast as possible. i forgot to include yesterday someone tried to steal my headunit so idk if that has anything to do with it. what damage do u think i could i have done? i need this fixed by tomoro, im a delivery boy and need my car lol
yup my car keeps blowing a 7.5amp the window motors, gauge, and climate control, but does it absolutely randomly. so I'm keeping posted on this issue to see how you fixed it.

lol i just checked my radio wiring and the green wire coming from the dash to the radio harness has the cover fried off.as far back as i can see. im guessing thats what is causing this? what should i do? lol

That is probably from using a 40A fuse in a 15A circuit. To be honest, that was friggin stupid. :3d_frown:
Now, you get to replace that entire wire.
what does the green wire that plugs into the radio harness do? i took out my cluster and i see it in the huge nest of wires? :cry: this sucks lol
It supplies power to a lot of different things from junction box #3 and directly from the fuse:

The beauty about this is most wires are green, white/green stripe and green/white stripe. You are going to pay dearly for this one...you are very lucky you didn't start a fire.
The 1st thing you have to do is replace that wire and don't ghetto rig it. Have fun
BTW - JJ's comment can be interpreted as "the stupidity never ends". It never ceases to amaze me me either.

Yea im definitely going to learn from this mistake. the green wire went to a wire on my radio that wasnt used and it touched metal. i pulled the cluster and the wire was frayed not to far in. i taped off as much as i could before i had to go to work. everything works now, i want to run a whole new wire but i dont really know where to start. i looked at the tsrm and im kinda confused, which is the wire i destroyed? thanks for the help
You are going to have to trace the wire along the harness visually. Taping the frayed part is not going to do any good at this point, you've burned the insulation off along the rest of the wire and you may have damaged other wires in the harness. If it touches a ground point, it will happen again or if another wire is damaged, it could happen to a different circuit. I suggest you take my advice...don't do a ghetto rig with tape.

yea it was just temporary, i didnt want to open up the harness n mess something up in the process.
