Smoking Amp/Fuse Blowing

lol, did the dog have a black nose, & whiskers missing.
& a bad case of sneezes....lol.
that's a new one on me, but a funny one.
you say you bought a new power supply? was that the full thing or just part of it?
if part of it & it was the plug side, then silly question but have you checked the fuse & wall socket....
if thats all good, the next you'll wanna check the top of the capacitors inside the console, swipe your finger over them, they should be perfectly flat & not domed up in any way, if they are replace with EXACT same type, some people think" if i put a bigger size capacitor in it will stop it blowing so easy again" NOT TRUE.
look for the obvious....black on board, & smell of burnning..
good look

great post and first to do fuse checks, for phantom drains.
G16 or J18 engine????
very good work. did you look at car in 100% dark,. all doors open , hood and trunk? called dark current checks.
and you are correct ,most fuses have many loads. some are 20 or more. (now windows ,usually)
DOME (im logged in to alldata.com so can you.....
Dome is doom, LOL called fuse #8 by suzuki.
a RED feed wire..... then white....

TCM, interior lights,trunk light,Radio, keyless,Clock and ECM

a real FSM make this far more easy, especially old cars.
and DC amp clamp meter 100x more easy.
alldata.com has the full set if schematics.

Everything is not working. Check for power and ground at speakers. If not there check at amp or head unit. If there's no power there replace amp or head unit. Probably need to replace whatever was smoking before it catches fire. Listening to music will be the last thing on your mind if that happens.

Do you have a trailer? does it blow the fuse when useing the trailer? Other wise is there any accident damage to the vehicle? these would be the first places I would look

you have a short on that circuit check owners manuel for what that fuse runs if it is cig lighter fuse it may be bad due to use of phone charger that is a little to large

there are two things on that model year that it most likely will be one is the speed sensor has gone out and that will be located on the drivers side near the back of the transmission the other possible cause i have seen is the cluster it self

The fan may run with jumper wires but if it''s blowing the 30 Amp Maxifuse it's needs a new or used fan motor.It's pulling too many amps.I have almost never seen a fan relay concern.Only other thing you may check is the wiring down near the fan shoud I have seen the 2 wires get loose from the conduit & melt onto exhaust manifold.Hope tHis Helps

This usually happens when there is a problem with the main power supply and is relatively rare. If you can post the make and model, I can give you some things to check if you are somewhat familiar with electronics.

Thanks,

Completely disconnect the amp and remove the cover. Look for anything that is discolored or burned.

Did you have one sub on each channel before the sub blew?
