i helped a ford driver (go figure) that had a car die on him. he asked me for a jump start and when i connected the wires onto his car i grounded it out. he later tells me that he has a short in the connection and thats why it wont start. my problem is when i did that i blew something and now my radio, hatch and odometer dont work. any ideas on if its a fusable link? i looked at all my fuses and they looked fine. anyone ever have this problem or have the wiring diagram? it is a 1997 chevy camaro with the 3.8 manual. thanks.

 

what do you mean you grounded it out?

 

he told me that he had a short in the wiring. when i hooked up the jumper cables his car's lights turned off and when i immediately took the cables off his lights came back on.

 

I'm not sure. You checked the fuses inside and the engine compartment fuse box?

 

found the fuse. it was the power accessory fuse... fml just drove 13 hours without music. haha.

 

Glad you found it.
