A challange.

Ok, yesterday, I rearranged some things behind my head unit, which was working fine. I put everything back and the HU was working fine. After putting my dash back together I was planning on going to my friends apartment, but when I go to turn on the headlights a fuse blows and my dash lights cut out. I try replacing the fuse and when it blows again I check a few things and say screw it and go inside. CD player still works fine.

Today I test things out better. I figured out that when the HU was not wired up the problem does not exist. When I plug the HU back in the fuse blows and such. As a matther of fact the voltage at the battery (all wires still connected) I get 56volts. If I then unplug the HU the voltage stays high for a few minutes then returns to normal.

Best as I can tell the only thing that the high voltage hurt was the fuse for my taillights/dashlights, everything else ran as usual. This has me seriously stumped.

The HU is a Alpine 9835 BTW.

What should I check/try? Bring it.

i think that the some wires may be grounding out

Thing that is confusing me so much is that I didn't change the wiring at all, I just unplugged the harness and moved stuff around, then plugged it back in. I don't even know where to begin really.

...I didn't change the wiring at all...moved stuff around

you didnt change the wiring, but somthing sure as hell could have grounded somthing else out by your fenangaling //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/uhoh.gif.c07307dd22ee7e63e22fc8e9c614d1fd.gif

Yeah, it was my fenangaling. I had pulled the deck,messed with it and put it back before I posted.

Lil bit ago I pulled the top of the dash and ran the wiring outside of the cage and tried again. Everything works as it should.

So it was something touching something, so I pulled the deck completely and I'll wrap EVERYTHING with tape tomorrow after work, even though all of the ends have gelsplices covering all connections. I may even pick up some heat shrink and bust out the iron. I wanted to clean that shit up anyway.

I= the tired

Thanks everyone that atleast read this!
