I had pulled and tested ~15 fuses before finding what I thought to be the best one, and went to start the car.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

10 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

  • Planet-9: 1 discussions

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

Cranking but won't start up normally - RESOLVED Hi Guys, RESOLVED. See post #7. Here's a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-sinEqVkiI I was installing my dash cam this afternoon and now the car won't stay on. I was hard-wiring the camera using a fuse. I had pulled and tested ~15 fuses before finding what I thought to be the best one, and went to start the car. Symptoms: Car cranks Car turns over and fires momentarily ..then sputters and dies (see the above video) Dash says PSM failure So far I have tried: Completely uninstalled the dash cam. Checked all the fuses I touched. Confirmed that all slots have correct amperage fuses. Unhooked battery for 20 seconds, reattached. Used a portable battery to "jump" the car if the car even needed it, with the same results. I'm at a loss. Any ideas?

POST 2Original post

Did the fuse panel wiggle when you removed fuses? Could be a loose connector on the backside? WAG. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

POST 3Original post

It's solid. I was carefully removing the trim & cover as well. I loosened a ground bolt for the camera, but that is now tight again. Still no luck...

POST 4Original post

you have a obdII reader..and a code? i think there are other fuses boxes on the 987..not just one.. have you checked there? lemon

POST 5Original post

I have a generic OBDII reader, which does not see any codes. I'll have to check the other fuse box.

POST 6Original post

You might check all the fuses. Perhaps your fuel pump is not running. Good luck

POST 7Original post

RESOLVED. Blown Fuel Pump fuse. To the naked eye the fuse looked fine, but after purchasing a fuse tester, it had failed. It must have given way when I pulled it out to attach the dash cam power. Thanks guys!

POST 8Original post

where the other fuse box is located? the first/obvious one is near the drivers left foot...

POST 9Original post

Good to be reminded that fuses can fool the eye. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

POST 10Original post

Glad you got to the bottom of this. The other fuse block I'm aware of is located in the left rear of the car
