Default No power, windows are down and it's gonna rain HELP!!!!!!

I just went out to go for a drive, and i turned my key, and as soon as it went to the start position, everything died!!! Obviously i blew a fuse for some reason. Any idea where??

Checked all fuses that would be relative to the issue, and all are well. Battery has 12.5 volts. And there is voltage at the fuse panel under the hood.

Help!!!

Ok fixed the issue. I have a wire come out of a crimp, and short against the frame. Apparently the car has a safe mode if that happens. I disconnected the battery, and now all is well.

What do you have crimped? Should take it out, and solder it together.

I mounted a fan on the rear of my intercooler, and i had the relay connectors on the ends of the wires crimped. Looking now i think the wire gauge is too big for the connectors. I normally solder everything, but relays do crap out, so it's nice to be able to swap one out easily.
