Did the fuse fit snug into the holder? I was thinking a loose fuse receptacle when I read your first post...

BTW- antennas touching the ground shouldn't blow a fuse- they're passive creatures, and should have no juice at all in them (unless you count the electro-magnetic charges they pick up from the air)

have an aftermarket stereo....so needed the 30 amp relay to operate the grounding switch...i was lazy and used duct tape the first time....from the heat it came off and exposed all the wires and i guess they just werent meant to be bunced up and down much
