One of those moments

Do you ever have one of those moments when you are installing something and its not working and you cant figure out why.. Then you realize what it is and feel stupid.. Yeah.. I did that when I was installing my new pioneer 6800 in my firebird. The old radio shorted really bad... Sparks, smoke, and a little flame bad. So it was time to update finaly. Get it home after work and go to install it and Im not gettin juice. So I pull out my tester light and start testing it and realize the main power on the factory harness isnt giving off any charge. After sitting fustrated for about 10mins not able to figure it out I desided to check my fuse box. *duh* Well I pull all the fuses marked radio all good. Appearntly there is just one labeled pwr in there. And its hooked to the main power. Then I had to drive to a cornor store a 12 at night to get a 15amp. But it did the trick. Felt like a complete idiot for not thinking of it right off.

The point of this long drawn out story is me just making sure Im not the only person that has done this. Any stories?

I have to admit...got a Grand Voyager. Shorted out the stock stereo. I checked the fuses under the hood...couldn't find any otheres. Put in a new HU and couldn't get the ACC V+ to work so I wired the memory and hot together figuring it would only be temporary. Well...after killing that battery and a new one, it was time to reroute the ACC V+ to the fuse box under the hood. While running the new power cable, I find another fuse box underneath the steering wheel...sure enough, there's the blown fuse. I STILL don't hear the end of it from my girlfriend. Never should have told her what happened.

You are NOT alone LOL
