Illumination fuse keeps popping (SOLVED)

like the blue/orange wires could have been used to remotely activate amps to power subs, when the accessories is turned on, on the truck.

absolutly! do you have a multimeter to test for voltage and verify that the blue wire has power? I think it should and your right.

Blue wires behind radios can be for a remote accessory on or like an automatic antenna that rises when the radio has power... I have an RV deck sitting here that says the blue wire is for a powered antenna. the trailer never had one and this was just capped and wired out of the way...

Blue wire says power antenna, but mine is fixed,

No multimeter but I have an ammeter

 

[thegawd]

do you have a couple more fuses?

 

[thegawd]

ya man theres a high probability that you fixed the short by removing those wires. I'd risk a new fuse but test before putting everything back. I'm not sure how an ammeter could help, I would test for voltage.

Good news is I have illumination! And no blown fuse! Yeeeeeeee thanks for all the help,

You must be registered for see images attach

[thegawd]

FUNK YA! no problem at all!

Don't know how it would help either, but is ammeter for amperage? I don't know all the tools. And good news I found a bag of all the fuses and relays I pulled from my old donor yukon

same boat... I dont know....
