OK so to make this as quick as possible (still going to be lengthy) I did an Sr swap, the engine was bad, so I had to put my Ka back in so I can drive the car until I get the Sr fixed.
When I got the Ka back in, the alternator wasn't charging and my tach, speedo, and coolant temp gauges didn't work. I've tried 4 different alternators, 2 batteries and multimetered everything.

Yesterday I discovered that my 75A fuse was grounding out. Skipping all the details to that, I have isolated that the 75A fuse is getting ground from the driver's side floor board fuse box.

Like so:


I found that the large white wire with a blue stripe is the one that has ground continuity. Traced it back here, and found that in the FSM it powers the 3 relays down here. Well the place where that wire plugs in is what's grounding it out.

It's the 2 big prongs on the top of the panel in the picture:


Those 2 prongs are what that large black plug clip into. They are supposed to be the hot side that feeds the relays. I need to know what would short out to cause them to be grounded out.

Can anyone help me?


One more pic.




OH! One last thing, I also pulled all of the relays out and checked them. All of them have continuity on pins 1 and 2, that was it. Also none of my fuses are blown...

you have to remove the fusebox and make sure that nothing is grounding it out from the back. could be cause by a bolt or screw that is touching the back of it, or a frayed wire that is touching a ground.

I did unscrew it and flip it around for the pictures and nothing changed. I also unclipped all the sections in the under hood box and nothing changed
