Hi there,

I bought a used 2000 Tibby about 6 months ago, and I love it! It had some engine problems at first, with the engine hesitating when i tried to accelerate, but replacing the spark plugs fixed all that.

Ok, back to the main point. I left my headlights on in the parking lot one day and had to jumpstart it with another car. I was rather rushed and connected it wrong, and had a little '"fireworks" in the hood of my car.

In the end, I had to replace the main fuse (the 100A) one, and I bought a new battery, one of those "titanium" ones from advanced auto parts (i'm not sure if I really needed to buy a new one, but i guess i was just being safe)

so after i replaced the battery and fuse, my car started up fine (what a relief!), but some time later i noticed the stereo wasn't coming on. I thought the stereo was a problem so I took the opportunity to upgrade to a new stereo, from best buy. I had to manually connect the wires, but the new stereo doesn't turn on too.

No lights, nothing! Not even an error code!

I checked the fuses, the all seem to be fine. What could be the problem? I looked in the hyundai manuals and stereo manuals, and connecting the wires seemed straightforward enough, i dont think I could have screwed that part up.

Also, there is this "Power connector" thing in the fuse box that straddles two fuse slots, and according to the manual it also protects the audio circuit. I couldn't get it out so i couldn't check it, does anyone know what this is?


Thanks in advance for any advice! I've been going through the hmaservice manual and googling around online, but can't find any solution.
