Alright guys, I bought a new Sony head unit for my 89 YJ because I thought the stock head unit was done. Well after I wired the new on in I turned the key and nothing happen. So I look at the acc fuse and it is blown and I replaced it. Turned the key to the on position and it worked! Well once I went to go for a drive I got not7 feet out of my driveway before it went out again! I don'tknow what's up! I looked for any bare wires(taped em) or loose wires and nothing! Help!

You may have too many amps drawing power from that one connection and it is blowing the ACC fuse. It's like what happens when you turn on a heater and a hair dryer in the same outlet or circuit, and it trips a breaker in your house. There maybe another ACC connection that uses a different fuse that you can tap into. Or you could wire in a new accessory into the accessory fuse box. They have a lot of empty slots, and just place a fuse in it. It's kind of like putting a new hard drive into a empty slot on your computer.

I'll look into it, on a scale of 1-10 how hard would this be?
