That has got to be the most vague question I have ever read.

Of course other people have had that happen. It's purely electrical. If your fuses are popping that means you have a short somewhere.

You have electrical connectors getting screwed up (imagine that on a GM). Check ALL your wiring in the areas you have messed around with. Could be cause by other faulty areas too. Does it happen only when it rains or something like that?

First, what car?

Second, you probably have short. Check the full run of the wires. It might be a speaker shorting on your door lock wire.

if you updated your radio...it probably pulls more amps than the factory deck...you'll need to match the factory fuse size to the new decks fuse....

I agree with that i had to do this but it should only blow a fuse if this is the problem when you start turning the vol up... if it blows with the vol all the way down then i doubt this is the problem
