Hi everyone, I installed a cheap head unit ( unsure of the brand at the moment ) both in my wife’s car and mine. Everything worked fine for a little while in my 98 4runner and then one day all of a sudden there was just no power to the radio. I pulled the unit out and checked the 15 amp fuse. Blown. As soon as I stuck another one in there it immediately blew as well. I’m a mechanic but I am clueless when it comes to electrical wiring. I tried doing a little bit of research before getting on here. When I spliced the harness together all I did was twist the wires together real good and then covered them with electrical tape. I didn’t use butt connectors or anything. Could this be the problem? Or is it something else? I did the exact same thing in my wife’s 2006 Kia Sorrento and hers has been working fine, no problems. Thank you all so much for your help in advance
