Default NX bottle heater install, now CAR WON'T START HELP!!!

------------------------------------------------------------------------
I was running the bottle heater power line off the guage cluster circuit (Bad idea, I'm lazy) then I blew that fuse, 10Amps #9 I think.

I replaced the fuse and then hooked up a direct line from my battery to the bottle heater.

Now when I try to start my car it turns over, but doens't fire?? There is puel pressure in the fuel rails, The engine is turning over???

Did I mess something else up with the electrical system where should I start looking???

Where are all of these fuses. The only ones I know of are in that little fuse pannel on the side of the door. Where is the fuel pump and ignition fuses!!!

I take that back I'm an idiot. It was the fuel pump fuse. I didn't have one to replace it with so I swapped it with the A/C compressor fuse. I don't have my A/C system charged up anyay so I don't see why I'd need that fuse.


Thanks All - i get a bit worried when my car stops starting!!

You may have blown the fuel pump fuse.
