Angry Radio and Nav dead

2007 G35 with DD conversion. I messed up checking for a loose wire, I found it, 12v ign hit ground, it was hot, but every fuse in my car is good. What am I missing, I checked all three fuse boxes, each fuse is good. Navigation is dead, radio is dead, but factory bluetooth is good. I'm stuck in Jacksonville now and have to be in Key West by Sunday. I don't want to make the drive with no radio, I pray someone can save me, I'm missing something. Allen

Now the back lighting on the main gauges are not working, but car starts. I need wiring diagrams for a 2007, anyone?

1) if you have access to a multi meter a) put one lead to ground put one lead either side of the fuse and to the other. - may have a blown fuse but can't see it b) set meter to ohms or continuity put one lead on one side of the fuse and the other on the opposite side.

if all else fails run a wire from your ignition (+12v) to the wire that grounded out. - this will at least give you audio.

Check this fuse by the driver side


That should fix it!

I thank everyone that took the time to post. I checked all three fuse boxes with a meter. I am still baffled on what went wrong, I'm a damn Electronics Tech in the Navy, this stuff is easy for me. I ran another wire from my Alpine 12v IGN to the fuse box, touched to the Fuse, and everything worked. Since I know all fuses are good, I fried a wire. With 3 fuses on this circuit, that is very disappointing. Reminds me of 1993 Sentra SER, it did the same thing when I was young. They must use low heat solder.

I know this is my fault, but the fuse protect circuit should have worked. The 15A didn't cut it, so I have an inline 10A for now.

Good news is, thanks to my diode, I can turn my rear camera on when I want.

Depending on how long you left it grounded out, it would be pretty hard to fry a wire without the whole car smoking up. Did you just check the fuses with a meter, of did you actually pull them? I used a meter once and everything was fine, but I did eventually find the blown fuse by pulling them out one by one.

I completely agree with your logic, it does not seem possible. I checked each fuse removed with my light, then the fuse with a meter. 3 fuse locations, nadda.

It looks like i just did the same thing. no accessory power out of the car harness and all the fuses look good. there is gotta be something that we are missing. did you ever find a solution?

Every fuse in my car was good at all three places. Visually and ohm meter checked, EACH AND EVERY ONE of those little suckers.... Never found the problem. I am in the Electronic field, I am sure there is a wire that is sodered somewhere that lost it's connection. The same thing happened on my 1993 Sentra SE-R back in the day and I took the dash completely apart and I found the bad wire spot. I really have no desire to take the G to apart, it works now with the new wire run.
