It's dead...or is it?

uh...guys....im still here!!! lol j/p....i think i see what you guys are saying. I so i guess maybe i should look into getting another head unit huh? If it matters it is a 10v fuse, not a 12v. But thanks for the help.

p.s. Maybe one day (out of pure boredom and, not so much stupidity) ill try to fix it

uh, fuses are NOT voltage tripped... the number on it is AMPS, not VOLTS. It's rated for 10 amps, so if you're replacing them with some smaller number, it's not suprising that it's blowing them. Try calling pioneer and see what they say. Also, if you still have all the wires and RCA's and stuff attached when you put it in, you could try having just the power lines and the ground connected. Just a thought.

just as I figured, germany confused the hell out of Neon too. In my 20+ years doing electronics work, I have never seen a resistor go bad by shorting out - they always open up. Transistors, diodes and the such ... now that's another matter.

ive seen it happen alot. but im an electronics technician. i work with lots of equipment everyday. i guess that was a little too much to tell someone that didn't even understand how fuses work. not his fault though, i jumped the gun.
