As title says, my datalink Maestro RR keeps blowing its 7.5 fuse. I have had it together for a few years no problem. I have JVC kw-z1000w so the floating screen and quite a pain to take apart to replace fuse and sometimes it blows instantly and others I can go a few days. Just wondering what would be my start in troubleshooting? Guessing volt meter some wires, but tracing electric issues are not my expertise.

I have 2014 Ram 1500 and I installed everything and been fine for a few years just wondering where I may start.

A short somewhere? Do you have a jump seat or console?

Jump seat
See if you can replicate it by putting the seat back up and down a few times with the engine running. Also, beat on the closed lid and then drop ass on to the seat. In mine, there was a short with the AUX inputs (I think I just removed the factory AUX inputs to fix it but it's been a while)
