okay heres my problem posted it before but it disappeared...

i fixed the tail light problem and turnsignal ended up being a relay and a fuse....
but i drove it around the block and i hit boost(spuddering and couldnt go past 4,000 rpms) and all the lights on the dash shut off rpms droped speedo droped, and lost all power including motor, i poped the hood and found out it poped the fuse for the ignition, put a new one in and it poped instantly.... i was under the dash yesterday and pulled out what i thought was the problem, (alarm system dont use it) but i have noticed that the lighted ring around the ignition doesnt come on when it doesnt come on it pops a fuse, but when its on does come on it doesn't pop the fuse....

helpppppppp
thanks dustin.:banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead:

also added i have replaced all relays under the hood and dash so what else could it be...
 
Recheck all your wiring from thelights and make sure there are no exposed wires. they are short and blow fuses and relays. A wire from my radio was shorting and blowing my taillights, just taped it over and no problems since.
 
I would also double check all wires/connections at your battery, alternator and both fuse boxes. A lot of aftermarket alarms pull power from the fuse boxes, so check really good around them for any wires with open ends or that aren't connected properly as well as fuses that aren't lined up.
 
alright thanks for the advice, also would a termal being junk (postive) termal being loose cause it, the last time it did it after all the relay swaps it poped when i hooked up the battery, my termal i can move without having to loosen and its fully tighten cant go any farther..... and also there is like a 8 prong flat plug under the steering wheel that i can not find out for the life of me where it goes... its a whiteish clear plug...

thanks
dustin...
 
alright update i thought i had it fixed hasnt done it for 4 days then it did it again, whats that sound like to you guys?
 
Sounds like a wire is grounding out somewhere, your going to have to do a good inspection and find any exposed, chafed or rubbing wires.
 
Did you check your intercooler piping? My car has similar problem. I can't go pass 4500 rpm or hit boost. Checked my piping and there was a crack underneath my intercooler pipe. Because of that it wasn't able to boost. I fixed that and it is all good again.
