Sounds like you have a grounded wire somewhere. The power surge that melted the (stereo wires?) or power wire may have shorted other wires in the wire harness. This is usually a hard thing to find unless the wires are exposed. Call the dealer and try to get the service dept to let you know what that fuse does and have them print out a wire diagram. You may be able to trace that wire and find the grounded out area.


Good luck!
