A friend of mine accidentally bridged two wires, one with juice, one grounded, that ran to the glove compartment on my '92 deville. I can't tell what they went to, as my glove compartment is gone, just hanging wires. The wires in question were purple and black, and the three options for what they may have been are the compartment lights, the gas door opener, or the trunk latch opener.When he bridged the two wires, I (sitting in the drivers seat) heard a loud pop that came from in front of me, underneath the steering wheel somewhere, and when I turned on the car, my start-up ding noises were notably sharper, and simultaneously weaker, like something had been blown. The radio display lights were inoperable, and while I did get static upon turning on the radio, my antenna would no longer extend. Do these things share a common circuit, and would short-circuiting something from the glove compartment cause me to blow a fuse, or is it possible that all of these components are permanently well blown?
fuses are meant stop anything thats powered to be blown, check all your fuses and i'm betting a number 15 is blown.
