Hey i just recently went out to start my car (98 GSX) and when it started my haedlights got stuck on and now none of my interior electrical systems work except for the sunroof.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
P.S. My profile is completely up to date.
 
Check all fuses for interior systems problem.

For stuck headlights either you have (1) a stuck headlight relay (in engine fusebox: 4th one from right in middle row - try swapping with another similiar one), or (2) a bad headlight switch in the column switch, or (3) the red wire from the headlight relay to the headlight switch in the column switch is touching ground (which activates the headlight relay).

Check #1 first, then #3, then #2 (rare) last. For #3, the problem often is the wires touch each other or ground under the engine fusebox (unbolt it and look underneath after disconnect battery). Have you had any changes or work done recently? If yes look in that area first.
 
Ok so i pulled the fuse box apart and found out that two of the relay wires and the main power wire had somehow fused together and kept shorting out or something like that. I replaced the wires and everything is fine. Thanks for the help
 
Ok, I went out to take the car for a drive today and i had the exact same problem that I had before I checked out the fuses and wires under the fuse box. Worked fine last night when I drove it but now i no longer have any interior electrical power. I'm desperate for suggestions or ideas of what could be wrong.
P.S. it keeps blowing the main 100Amp fuse. and the horn comes on with the highbeams.
