This morning i was messing with my boost gauge, wiring.... i ran the accessory to the radio, and the ground to a bolt by the kicker panel, i had everything working> bulb lighting up and then i heard a pop, looked and....the radio fuse was blown, but now my car wont start.
 
Check ALL fuses, disconnect the wire for the gauge til you find out whats going on. If all fuses are good then look for spark/fuel. Does it turn over/click/nothing?
 
it just wont turnover and start it tried, but fails. I checked all the fuses and tried to replace the ones that were blown, i replaced one, it turned the radio on but the car still wont start >.>
 
100A engine fuse woulda been my first guess too DSM PWR, I've been there before, but actually turned out that I had damaged the ECU... on a totally different circumstance though, so dont compare to me, Im just saying :) If your ECU was fried it wouldnt even crank.
 
You might have knocked a live wire loose while hooking up stuff under you dash. The live wire may be touching bare medal and shorting out everything (blowing fuses) when you try and start the car...I know because the same issue happend to me. Just have to comb through everything and find that bare wire and secure it.
