Sounds like wires are touching,pull the head unit out and inspect wiring,it's grounding out causing fuses to blow..

I may need to do some more trouble shooting but here's what Iv'e found so far. Practically nothing, when I pulled the head there was one loose wire (black w/ blue stripe) stripped about a 1/4". I first thought it went into the #1 slot on the gray connector since that was empty, (thats for a mute). After nothing happend when I put it there I pulled it back out and the left side starteed working again, so I just capped tapped it off. After looking at some schematics it shows this to be a ground, (how is it possible for this to work at all w/o ground?) Anyway right side is still in-op, RR, RF and tweeter, Im thinking maybe it's the choke/relay since its the entire right side or maybe a bad head.
All advice and reccomendations are much appreciated and welcome.
Thanks Matt.
