so im going to ask this question. im sure i will get yelled at but here it goes. my car doesnt have a room fuse. when a room fuse is put in its place the ignition turns on. This would appear to be some sort of short. i have looked over most of the wiring but have yet to find anything. I just want to know if anyone has any information on this. maybe there is something i dont know. suggestions are welcome. thanks.

probably someone has miswired the radio wires and has the constant and switched wires commected.

Did you have radio or other work done recently?

cjbechtel

its not stereo wires. there was no stereo for a while. i have also checked ignition wires. i just dont know a good way to locate what wire is crossed. thanks for your reply.

if the factory stereo wires were cut off from their plugs they could be shorting together (at where the plugs would be- behind the radio) and cause the problem you are describing.

What other electrical stuff have you had done???

when i bought the car there was a stereo then it was stolen then i put another one in. the whole time the room fuse didnt work correctly. so i dont think it is stereo related. however, the car did appear to have some sort of alarm and remote start that wasnt operational (partially removed. i removed everything else i found and the problem remains. it looks like there was work done on the main harness behind and above the fuse box, but nothing looks out of place. i dont really expect an answer i just wanted advice if anyone had any. thanks.
