go to all the ogs out here i need some help. my buddy and i just bought a 99 2.5rs with a sti block ;P .we bought it off a friend of mine after he got rear ended. There is NO front end damage at all (he was at a street light). here is where my problem is.

The car doesnt start. It doesnt even crank. After the car got rear ended my friend took out an amp. after that the car wouldnt start anymore. the power for the amp is now disconnected from the battery. I replaced the battery with a new one (650cca) the new battery reads 12.5v. I checked all the fuses and there all still good (however a 30amp SBF no.8 is missing. what is this and do i need it?)

As of right now all i can think of is when he pulled off the power off the amp it hit ground shorted out the battery and ecu? maby shorted out the starter solinoid? any ideas?

subie gurus lend me a hand. no need to dumb up any explanations im fairly good with cars . i know there are impact sensors in the front but as far as i know there is nothing in the back of the car that would do anything to prevent cranking.

 

did you own a mr2?

 

sounds like you blew the main fuse, should be under the hood in the eng compartment fuse box, it should be a 50-60amp so it wont look like a regular fuse, its one of those big *** ones, g'luck!
