Need Help! :'(


Recommended Posts

hey guys,

I was connecting a horn to my R33 GTS, and i had it connected to a ciggarette lighter,the wires touched (i know i should have had them covered but too late now) and it blew a fuse. The fuse that blew was 15 amp and it was replaced with a 30amp.

i drove it for about an hour like that and the next day realised 30amp shouldnt be in there and swapped it for a 10amp. I also noticed that my clock was faded and wasnt getting any power. i tried to turn on my head unit and there is no power to the subs, the head unit or the clock.

My friend also noticed that everytime i turn on the car the clock re-sets (you can just see the numbers) and the air-con resets itself to 25'C. i checked all the fuses and they are all fine, and i checked that the head unit connections were all in place but there is nothing that appears to be wrong. Please any help would be great, i take listening to music for granted and i miss it!!! :)

Thanks guys in advance,

Mitch

There are too many possible problems...

1. Dead HU (more then likely, its dead anyway, cant tell by your description)

2. Fuses

3. controller and power boxes for AC, clock, etc

4. Melted wire (this is my bet, along with some other shit)

5. Rooted battery / altenator

6. rooted (electronic) internals here or there...

Thanks for your reply guys. i have checked all the fuses in the dash and in the engine bay, i just found out today there was a fuse box in the boot...but i was told if there is a blown fuse then there would be no electricity going through at all, which isnt the case...i can only just see the clock on both the head unit and the dash clock.

Ill go buy a a 15amp fuse tomorrow and see if that makes a difference. Would you guys rekon its worth taking to an auto electrician? Know of any good cheap ones on the coast that'll do the job for me?

Thanks again for your replies

    • Hey guys any recommendations for fitment for a stock 94 GTR R32  Want to order work meister s1 3p and would like a nice looking flush fitment. Plan to get MCA coilovers to set ride height etc. Just confused on offset, brake clearance etc.  Never purchased after market wheels so I'm a bit concerned since it's a long wait to order and I don't want to order the wrong specs. 
    • Update: Done: -Running on 6 cylinders, one injector was gummed up. I made an injector tapper, bit of Teflon on the end of a metal rod.  That fixed the injector. Need to replace one injector plug, the fastener is broken. -Coolant bleed -Fixed 4WD warning light, bleed 4wd system -Fixed electrical problems: alarm, brake lights, various broken plugs  -Got all the parts ready to connect head drain. Head drain is fitted with a blocker atm Todo: -Fuel pump dead, Been cleaning out the tank, had a lot of tobacco looking stuff, think its OEM foam. Got a Walbro 460 to put in. Probably going to add a relay to give the pump a solid 13volts. Replacing all the fuel hoses, in tank etc. -Front drive shafts still not back on. Waiting on parts. Would like to buy some new ones, but probably going to patch these up for now -Replacing gas struts on back door. Waiting to be returned -Headlights need a polish/repair -Going to touch up the paint a little. -Clean up the interior -Connect up heater plumbing -Cosmetic stuff, powder coat replace rusty parts, replace rusty bolts, wiper blades, silicon missing rubber -A million other things
