I checked all my fuses a few times over, and can't seem to find any of them at fault, even though I replaced a couple. I know I remember hearing something about a maxifuse, but I just couldn't find it. anyone have any clue what I can do???? 98-98.5 Silver Contour SVT short shifter Panasonic HU 2 12" MTX 8000's MA Audio mono block amp homemade box

F34, F32, F25, F20, are the only fuses to be affected, but the odds of them ALL being bad? slim to none. I am trying to locate a Battery Juntion Box (BJB) fuse, or relay that is linked to all of these. What other symptoms, if any, do you have? Does the car start? Run? Try to start? Any CELS? horn work? I will keep looking, and I would suggest letting us know if it starts at all.. that will narrow it down significantly. Even still, start looking at the main engine fuse box for a blown fuse (though I am actually thinking it is more like a common connecting rod, or bar of some kind (UNDER the main fuse box) that powers a set of fuses.. like 5 per rod, etc.. and THAT connection is bad, causing five or 6 MAIN fuses to be bad, thus affecting multiple interior fuses... Like I said, let me keep looking, while you reply if the car runs, etc. Ray '99 CSVT - Silver #222/276 In a constant state of blow-off euphoria.
