Does the fuse blow immediately when you install it? If so, you have a short somewhere between power and ground.

When you say uninstalled all audio components, are you referring to aftermarket or original? Regardless, check any connections you have done/undone and make sure there is no damage or intermittent connectivity. Any splices done to any wires where it could be rubbing ground somewhere?

I
n the upper right hand hip of truunk there is the followin components.
panasonic rechargab L_T122PU battery
a unit about the same size that has anntenna plug in phone jack ear phoe jack small 4 pin plug in
the big one is 1x5x10 and assume it is amplifier. has two jacks one with1 pin and the biggeee has30 2 pins.
Question Is the lite blue red wire in thew bbig plug or one of the small ones??


There is also the GPS box and an am fm tuner box these are at bottom right side.

All the wires are wrapped in bundles and outwardly aappear ok.
I am not in a big hurry on this not wanting to make things possible worse!!
Looking forward to some more of your good advice. Sincerely paulrichmo

Thanks again. I did uninstal all components to make sure it was a conducter problem.
there is only one Blacup front fdor seat warmers.
All other connectors are white none close in appearance to the drawing you sent.
There is one 32 point connecter plug and one single pin.
will separate the wires to the 32 pin plug and start tere.
