Default WTF...SCT2...help needed

OK......so I put my new NT4's are nittos on today....and when I was adjusting my rev per mile a error message on the dash apperared saying check fuel level....than check charging system...than the whole thing went blank.....and the dash, port that i tuner is plugged into do not work......The weird thing is...is that the headlights work, interior lights work....but the car will not start either.
SO all in all
I got a check fuel level
Check charging system
Than everything went dead....and the tuner turned off

WHAT DO I DO NOW????????

I'm guessing blown fuse. Going by old memory, I believe it's fuse number 8?? The dash messages are normal for when you are changing the tune. They show every time.....Sounds like you got part way through, and blew the fuse.....

check your fuses. The errors messages are normal though.

Exactly right. Fuse #8 located behind the passenger kick panel. I'd bet $$$$ on it.

Yes. If you saved the changes just load the "Saved" file.
