Installing my CB radio was great until I got to actually powering it

got all my cables to the firewall and everything.

As soon as I connected the cables to the negative and positive of the battery I blew my 60 V fuse. I’ve got no idea what fuse I took out to replace it but all I know is I blew the starter motor fuse.
I’ve linked an image below of the fuse that is missing can anyone help guide me on what I’ve taken out ?

Another question does anyone have a suggestion where I could mount my CB radio antenna

You are doing it the hardway ?

Why dont you just use the Phone Wiring/Cables harness under the Console,
the 3 wire Plug has a Hot wire, Accessory wire and Negative wire.
Plug and Play, or was that Plug and Pray ?

The same part of the loom can also be used for a Dash Cam.

Get a -
Glass Mount Antenna,
Or a
Bonnet Right Angle Bracket, that can be bolted next the guard with a Guard Bolt.

I’m just following instructions on the manual that came with the kit.

just for reference this is my first car in the first car that I’ve ever worked on the first car that I’ve ever owned

so I’m learning how to do everything as I’m going

I’ll take a photo when I get to my car as the antennas in the car however I do have a bonnet mount I’m just unsure of where I should screw it in
