Okay, so I Installed my subwoofer back into my car today, by mistake I shorted the power and ground ( shouldn't be a big deal) but after I went to flick the ignition to ON, I got a weird buzzing sound, so I tracked the sound to the glove box area. At first I thought it may have been my main relay, so I dropped the glove box and it was two little relays ( one blue one brown) were buzzing, and you could feel the relays vibrating... So my question is that, what could cause this? I don't want to throw two new ones in if there just going to pop... ( sorry for the indirect links, The website wont let me put them in)

Before I knew what relay it was ( Only for a sound comparison)

P.S : My stereo still works, but my sub doesn't ( not sure if I blew the amp fuse or not)

Well now... I thought it had a big main relay like the 6th gens... well, I just checked and that's them, I wonder why it blew them ? Also the motor is taken apart, so none of the fuel injection connectors are plugged in ( or any of the motor wiring harness for that matter), so could that do it?
PS ;it should be the same as the one pictured, even though it's an EP3 diagram shouldn't it?

If the ECU/main relay ground in the engine bay is disconnected, then that could be the problem.
