Kpierson/motocrossrider- I had a 60 amp fuse (glass type) installed when I found my short the hard way. The stereo system was actually installed for several months before I found this short and I was having a problem with the system for the last 3-4 weeks. The funny thing is I never blew a fuse. It melted the carpet and (believe it or not) welded the copper wire to the floor! I know, it seems impossible to weld copper to steel but it did it. There is now a hole where the short happened. It wasn’t a real strong weld, I could pull the wire off the floor with a couple hard tugs. My point is this happened and never blew a 60 amp fuse.

I copied the wrong name, sorry. motocrossrider that was meant to be for you. I was in a hurry and thought I had it corrected in my first post but that one was a mess because I copied from Word. Learned a lesson there.
