Well, I really did it now. I have made possibly the stupidist mistakes ever when working on cars. So here it is...
I tried wiring my slim fan in series with my stock fan, thinking that it would work in series. This is where I was wrong, I actually crosswired the fans, and the whole electrical system of the car, and completely distroyed something.
It started fine after I did this, but when I took it for a test drive it just shut down on me when I stopped. It didnt stall, It shut down, like the battery just lost all juice. I tried to start it but it was COMPLETELY dead, like the battery wasnt in the car. So i jumped it and started driving back home, and on the way home it would kill in and out. I could see my safc keep reseting itself as everything was dying.
When I parked the car to look at it i saw and heard that the fuse box was making a clicking noise, even wtih the car turned off. I pulled the 40a light fuse, and it stopped, so thinking that I took this wire out of the circuit, i tried another test drive, same thing. So I have no idea how to fix this. And yes the slim fan is most definitely unplugged, and the wires cut. Any help would be most appreciated!
And let me save you the trouble in saying that I was an absolute moron.
Thanks for the space
