how do I know which fuse I blew

I have a bunch of fuses for the electricals..

Open the fuse box, pretty sure it has a diagram on the lid with what does what. If not it's in your manual.

The place where you bolted the horn too has to have a good connection to the body of the car (bare metal).

The bracket/bolt that is on the horns is used as the earth for the horn. I bet that's your problemo mate :)

:secret:

You had a few hiccups but all in all a top effort :lookaround:

thanks mate.. If my radiator continues to leak, I might try and see if ford can replace it under warranty by saying it cracked and I tried to patch it up so I could bring it to them safely .. =]

Kewl thanks for the advice. I'll have a look at it first thing in the morning.

took my car for its 1st spin just then, after filling up the coolent tank with water (temporarily)

and my " Malfcuntion Indicator Lamp" which looks like the TEA pot shape .. stays on

in the manual it says that " this light will only remain on if the vehicle is no longer operating withing the emission regulations ... fault has developed that will damage the catalytic converter"

IS that normal since I've fitted this high flow intercooler on without a tune.. ?

to me it looks like my car is just telling me that its no stock anymore and detects the upgrade.. I may be wrong but does anyone know for certain..?

oh and to the positive side, I have a loud huge flutter and in 1st gear , foot to the floor at around 4000rpm.. the car goes sideways and has a tiny bit of axle tramp =]

thanks.
