Electrical problem, Please help....

[GTA_V6_Mustang]

Ok well I left school on my lunch just now and suddenly my radio goes off speedo dies and clock goes black. No my power locks wont unlock also. I check the fuses and the number 8 fuse is blown under the dash. Thats the one that controls the radio, unlock, clock, and cluster and etc. Its a 10a so i replace it and the new one pops as soon as its in. So i think maybe because key was in ignition so i took keys out and put the new one in and pop again as soon as i try to put it in.... any suggestions would be great.. Thanks...

have you done anything to the electical system?

No not at all!

Sounds like you have a wire touching metal or something, I'd check under the dash to see if I could find the problem

**** it I am going to sell this POS... Pull the radio and let someone else deal with it... I bought this car so I would not have any problems but an electrical problem... Theres nothing I can do about it now... **** this!......

See if any of the pedals are pinching a wire.

just checked. Nothing, its the number 8 I/P fuse panel fuse blowing. I unplugged the radio and the clock and it still pops. That fuse send power to courtesy lamps, radio, power mirror, remote keyless entry, clock, illuminated entry...

Don't give up so quickly, just take a deep breath, relax, then go out there and try and eliminate as many accesories as possible that could be causing the problem.

the next possibe thing that I could reach is the cluster and everything works there except the speedo.........

Follow up

In my fit or rage today during lunch I pulled out everything and found the problem it seems. The harness for the gauge cluster had rubbed against the dash so much from being removed by me so many times that it went threw the wire loom and threw the wire insulation so it was grounding out on the dash and blowing the fuse. So now its fixed and fuse isnt blowing anymore. Everything works now
