I checked all the fuses and replaced the #32 fuse(yes, that's the radio fuse) in the passenger compartment. even after that it still didn't work. I hooked up a simple switch to the switched power lead, and when i flipped it it'd work. so everything is good except the switched power to my head unit. does anyone have any ideas where the problem with my line might be? is there another fuse that the line goes through? if I could get some good answers or suggestions then hopefully I can have it to listen to tomorrow at work. 98-98.5 Silver Contour SVT short shifter Panasonic HU 2 12" MTX 8000's MA Audio mono block amp homemade box

I tried the fuse again because when I rechecked it it seemed loose, so I switched it with another fuse and it worked, it was weird, the fuse that I had put in before to replace the blown one was still good, but it just wasn't seated right or something. I dunno, it works now and I'm happy, just can't wait to get in my new HU 98-98.5 Silver Contour SVT short shifter Panasonic HU 2 12" MTX 8000's MA Audio mono block amp homemade box

I believe its fuse #31. When I finished up the install I started the car and the radio refused to work. I reseated the #32 fuse and it worked again. Gremlins indeed Beer is my Gatorade. Hooray Beer.
