quick question...please help!

[Evan.]

If the fuses/circuit of any thing (eg. radio, cigarette lighter) etc. work, then the main relay can't be shot right?

Sounds logical

lol

I sure hope so...I wired up my turbo timer to the ignition wires (ACC, etc)

BUT there was a bad ground for the turbo timer, so when I powered it - my system got fried and the gauge backlights, radio, cigarette lighter and parking lights didnt work. Then after that, I d/c the turbo timer and to try it out, replaced the fuse to the radio and then with a turn of the key, the radio worked, so Im hoping that since the radio worked after just replacing the fuse, that that means the main relay isnt shot.

I haven't studied the wiring diagrams of anything later than 5th generations, but there are some circuits that have two fuses involved in relay controled circuits. In 4th generations the relay that connects power to the cigarette lighter is fused separately from the actual wire carrying the power to the lighter.

figured it all out already, thanks though.
