Need Some Help Really Bad

[dodge_neon_98]

OK I've been dealing with this problem for the past two weeks and now I can't stand it. When i took out my old head-unit and put my new one in (wires and everything is hooked up right) the fuses keep popping ( the ones under the hood for the radio), I dont' know whats wrong but it's really irritating me, if someone can help me I would really appreciate it.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

1. Ceck all you wiring again, make sure that there is no bare wires making contact with the chasis.

2. Check your fuses make sure that you are getting the correct rated fuse.

just to make sure I'm understanding this, if you were to unplug the HU and change the fuses, they would be fine until you plug the HU in?

if that is the case, what happens if you shake the wires without the HU plugged in? maybe they are shorting out when you go to plug it in.

ok ill check the wires , what watt on the fuse should i have because right now i have a 10 on the back on my head unit an a 10 under the hood

what is the 10 under the hood being used for? i thought the fuse closest to the batter should be at least like 150 or more.

you are thinking of the power wire for an amp. He's talking about the power wire for the HU.

and a 10 amp should be fine.

Does it blow when you turn it up, or just blow the second you hook it up?
