Big Electrical Problem
So I have a 1997 Nissan Pickup and the other day i decided to wire up some new things. I did the Big 3 upgrade and installed a capacitor for my sound system. The system now has two amps(one for a sub and one for my four speakers), a sub, a Kenwood head unit, Kenwood speakers, and now a capacitor. As I was wiring up the Big 3 upgrade I had neglected to unhook the battery and when I was lossening the positive connection on the alternator I swung the wrench too far back and it got wedged between the alt. and a mounting bracket. Some little sprks were going and after about 5 seconds I heard a little bit of a pop. I knew right then that things weren't going to be good. I finished up what I was doing and tunred the pickup on. It starts, runs, and my headlights work(brights and all), but my radio, horn, interrior lights, guage lights, blower motor, ect... do not. The only light in the dash that comes on is the battery emblem when it's running and the bright emlblem when I turn on the high beams. None of my fuses are blown and I have 13.4 volts at the battery. (the capacitor and amp also light up so i have power there) If anyone can help it would be much appreciated, and a Merry Christmas to all.
I've been checking in and figured the site had died forever. I checked today and bam it's back on. Awesome. I don't contribute much here, I just come to read and enjoy hotrod builds and good company...
