It was the dipstick that was out, BUT I have small leak still-think its the rear main seal

Also still having other issues--> my exhuast is gonna fall off on my 2nd pass, 1 of 3 studs coming off the pass side turbine broke and its hanging by 2 bolts but its leaking bad and rattling the nuts out of my sack.

AND still waiting on a solenoid for my EBC that took a crap 2 weeks ago! Love car stuff!

Ha! check this out!

Apparently when I took my stereo out the car for the track event there was a hot wire that was frayed out that might have touched metal, But if it did cause a short it would have blown the fuse from that wire going to the battery terminal and stopped the circuit from completing… Well that fuse was not blown in fact all my fuses are ok…except the ones from the upgraded 14” fans, they were the only ones melted, not blown. Everything works on my car, it even turns over but no power to the ecu, we have changed out ecu’s and nothing. If the stereo caused the short then the fuse should be blow.…we’ll soon see.


What do you guys think?

Sounds similar to what happened to shezzhot's car. Stereo short causing all kinds of weird elec problems. Hope you get it all sorted out!

My thoughts:
If the is a wire that is coming from the speakers to the amp is touched metal, it should have blown the fuse in the Amp. Maybe the fuse in the main power wire that powers the Amp but that would be the extent of that.

If the fuses for the fans were melted and not blown then it sounds like the fuses may have been oversized for the amount of amperage coming out of the fans.

+1 on bolded text above. I dont understand how the stereo shorting out could have possibly affected the fans or the harness that the fans run off of, but I dont know $hit so who knows? Good luck Luie, I hope you dont have to miss the track day we've talked about for months because of this. Im sure Sharif is working on it as we speak.


edit-didnt see this, could explain it

Id imagine the fuses for the fans would blow before the wires got hot enough to melt...
