hey guys. I ended up replacing a few of the rubber fuel lines located in the boot yesterday. In order to do this I had to remove my amp which I've had for about a year now and had no problems with until yesterday. I made sure I put it all back together correctly but now when i turn the ignition one click over ( head unit and clock both turn on) the cigarrete lighter fuse blows every time (15 amp) and the amp doesnt switch on. I've tried disconnecting the amp and just turning on the ignition without having it hooked up but the cigarette fuse is still blowing. have I maybe pinched a wire in the boot or something that is related to the cigarette lighter. This is driving me crazy! you fix one thing and another problem surfaces lol maybe someone knows the wiring layout for an r33 gtst?

If thats all you did for sure ?

rca is pinched and grounded out or shorted now

Or blue trigger wire is dead shorting to ground

No other reasons unless your amp is wired to the cig lighter instead of battery lol god forbid , I have witnessed it before

Remove all blue wire , tape it up

Remove rca cables mark if needed for front rear etc , power up the deck is it blowning fuses still , yes ? You have other issues

Oh and amp ground missing can do it or fried amp inside or shorted speaker wires but doubt that if you didnt unwire the whole amp ( check close for 1 strand of stray copper on connections to place wires on the amp power and speakers all it takes is 1 to blow a fuse )

No , plug rca cable in while powered up one plug at a time ( volume muted or all the way down cause you will get a loud squeal when plugging in) if one blows the fuse repair or replace that rca of find the pinch point , the plate for the fuel pump ???

Next pop the blue trigger wire back on the amp( thin one near power and ground except old hifonics amps and maybe a few others)

If its still ok move amp back to mounting area , if that blows the fuse your grounding out or pinching a wire agaist metal

That should get ya fixed if not its a freak of nature out of the blue issue unrelated to your fixes
