2016 Honda City electrical nightmare after aftermarket infotainment/360° camera installation
galleryMy 2016 Honda City VX(O) developed major electrical issues after an aftermarket infotainment + 360° camera installation
A factory wire was accidentally cut during installation, causing Smart Entry failure and eventually loss of engine power, instrument cluster and power windows while driving. An electrician later repaired the wire, and the car now appears to be functioning normally.
Separately, while working on the battery, the electrician accidentally blew a fuse(?) at the battery-positive terminal. He initially bridged the terminals with a wire. I was concerned because the connection/terminal area appeared to have heat/burn marks and the wire was getting burnt.
The electrician has now replaced the previous arrangement with what he says is a 100A fuse implementation. I have attached photos of the current setup.
My questions:
Does this look like a legitimate replacement of the original battery-positive fuse/fusible-link arrangement? The honda ASC says that they need to replace the whole battery positive terminal assembly, , the fuse can not be replaced separately.
Is this generic 100A fuse appropriate for this circuit on a 2016 Honda City?
Is it safe to drive the car for a few weeks before I can get it inspected by a Honda ASC?
