Well now I know why my #1 fuse kept on blowing.

1. There was a trunk leak that filled the driver side of the trunk under the antenna.

2. There is a thick wiring harness that teminates in a female 20? pin serial connector with a red cap on it that was sitting in the water. The connector melted a 1/4 inch hole in that red cap.

I pulled back the sheathing at the connector to find a few wires that had melted and that is the cause of my short.

My question now is: What is this connector for and how do I replace it?

Help would be appreciated.
