soooo anyone mind letting me borrow their relay ONLY to put in my car and see if it will start or blow my fuse? Mine i might of messed up through some crazy scientific method of being dumb and taking it apart.

so from what i understand from your post you did a mod to the relay and as long as you manually trigger the relay it does not blow the fuse?
are you using a different power source to trigger the relay ?
if you are using the same power source then its just a bad relay, if the resistance of the trigger circuit in the relay is too high you will blow fuses

Well i found a minutely damaged rear o2 sensor wire. fixed it (temp) but since my relay isnt properly working I dont know if that was the fix.

@wrx I plug the relay back into original spot and when i turn the key it will not click on. I have to manually do it myself. I am gonna check around for any other messed up fuses.

Yeah so got the new relay in the mail. The damaged rear O2 sensor was what was blowing my fuse.
