    ...got it working. IF it's a 20 Amp fuse, it would be a main power supply to the console. So for the "Big one" to blow and that it also feeds stereo and cluster, I hope you can rule out cluster and then look more towards the Audio and center console to see if something got pinched, or stuck -...

    Electrical problem

    I found your forum and hope to find some help. Years ago I installed an aftermarket stereo, and recently had to change it. While working on it the wire I was using for the accessory touched metal and shorted out the car. I'm unable to find what messed up. Any help is greatly appreciated
