lost volts in Accesories line i screwed up

[tjat]

installing my amp i used the yellow Accessories 12v and jumped to my amp for power, then i used the yellow cable from the phone connector to get my remote power for the amp. everything worked fine until i cranked the amp up then something blew, now there is low lots on the acc line something like .12v. the radio is fine and works but wont turn off with every thing else i turn it off manually, i think this is because of the problem. i realize now that i shuldn't have shared the Accessories line to much drawing current, i should have run in a new line.

Any ideas i checked all fuses, i think i may need to check relays, not quite sure how to test them and which ones to test!

VZ berlina 2005 my amp is 500w boss cheap thing.

Yeah.. the phone charger will run of ACC too.. you essentially ran both trigger and constant of the same line...

The ACC fuse would be a good place to start. Then replace the ACC relay.

You use the ACC as the trigger, it acts like a relay, a small current to trigger a big current (switched).

Always use fuses and relays when adding anything to a car, the electrical systsem is not designed to take anything else, i know how much thought goes into the circuts, use relays!!!

In this case, you will need to run a power cable 4ga will suffice, from battery to boot. Fused no more than 30cm from the batt terminal.

Use the acc circut as your trigger splice and make sure its earthed well..

i checked all fuses the relays are good as far as i know i swapped them with the ignition relay and the acc relay worked there. i have still got no volts on the phone connector yellow cable and no volts on the head deck yellow cable any other ideas. the acc fuse is a bit confusing because there is one labeled acc socket i know that wound not be it but i checked all fuses.

don't worry fixed it you have to check fuses with multimeter not just look at it thanks for you help though im an idiot.
