fuse # 21 blows

[broken325e]

I need help! A couple of weeks ago i was driving on the freeway and my stereo and all interior lights turned off including my tach. I have no idea why, i just recently got stereo installed. The fuse blows out and its # 21.




Thanks for the help,

Danny

This might sound a little complicated but here goes... Remove blown fuse and replace with new fuse #21. Hope that helps

*add-on* If your still blowing fuses you might want to check to see if too much current is passing to the head unit/system components. Im no auto electrician, but if you do have too much current passing through that particular fuse, you might want to change your source of power (maybe directly to the battery if possible). Good luck.

LMAO....usually when u put a new stereo in you have these kinds of problems, what i did is i hooked the stereo to an extra battery in my trunk.

I had a similar problem back in the day with my E30. Turns out the dimmer lead (which I didn't hook up to my head unit) was grounding.

yeah sounds like a wire is grounding out
