just me?

Hmm, so I tried to follow the directions as listed in the previous pages...
1. mounted v1
2. ran cord pushed up through headliner, zip tied behind airbag, down trim and through to glove compartment.
3. wired up add-a-fuse with 2 fuses and put it in fuse 07
4. grounded to torx bolt.

However, when I powered on the car, not only did the valentine not power up, but neither did the homelink mirror. I tried flipping the direction of the add-a-fuse and swapping the fuse positions but nothing changed. Thinking maybe something more serious was wrong, I put the fuse back in to the fuse box without the add-a-fuse, and now the homelink mirror doesn't even power on. I've tried multiple fuses thinking I may have broken one, but the homelink mirror still does not get power. All the other electronics like the dome lights, SOS button, etc are still receiving power.

Any ideas? Did I break something?

Thanks!

nevermind... note to those that don't pay attention. Homelink mirror doesn't actually turn on till you start the engine.. thus same for the v1
