Electronics problem (Sorry if wrong thread)
Hello all,
I recently purchased a VIII and just had a weird electrical problem.
I drove for 15 minutes like normal, and parked. Came back out after 3 or so hours and many of my interrior electronics are not working. Here is a list of what works, and also what works with the ignition turned on, that didn't without.
Does not work without ignition:
Power locks
Dome light
Clock
Radio
A/C
Works when ignition is turned:
Power locks
I checked all fuzes, non were bad. I was told it could be a grounding problem, or possible a relay. If anyone has any ideas or guidance, thank you so much for your input.
Have a great day!

This was the cause of my electrical problems as well as a few other Evo8 owners on NE-EVOS

Fixed!
Thanks everyone for your input!
I took it to the Mitsu Dealership here in town. It was a main line fuze that went out, which could of been cause by a short from a loose wire in the back of the cd player... which I just had installed a few weeks before. Relatively cheap fix, only 85 bucks. That main line fuze was the one that controlled all of what I said before, the other one was more important, good thing!
Thanks again!
