Hello everyone, just recently got a 97 Acura CL from my mother, who's had it for years. When I got it, this was happening:
Windows wouldn't work, all gages didn't work, needed to put key in shifter (automatic) to take it out of park, blinkers wouldn't work.
I brought it to a mechanic who disconnected the speed sensor and everything aside from speedometer worked fine for the past 2 weeks. Today, I disconnected the factory radio to install a new one. After connecting the constant 12 and ignition wire, I reconnected the battery and everything was fine, radio turned on. I turned it off and started checking speaker wires for continuity to match them up. The next time I turned it on, there was no longer power to the constant 12 and the radio didn't work. After starting it, I realized the car was back to the same situation it was in before I got it fixed, windows, gages, shifter and blinkers. I checked all fuses and my 15A ECU fuse was blown. After replacing it, the car is still in the same situation. Before bringing it to mechanic the first time, I replaced the ignition thinking that may be the problem, but it wasn't
Any ideas? Thanks
