so i was playing around with the car and blew the fuse going to the computer. Telling myself i'm glad i put the fuse there i tightened the battery cables better (key in beeping was dull) and putting in a new fuse car started just as it had before. Since this was the first fuse i've heard pop (and the fact it was sitting as close as humanly possible to me when it went) i didn't know they weren't supposed to sound like a handful of firecrackers going off at once. I've driven the car around town on what is probably the safest tune possible. well i finally went to finalize the building of the ms box when i picked it up and heard rattling. 
turns out c16 exploded, no big deal, just google that and... some people have had that problem too, just a voltage spike or somethin, put in a new one and it works for a year or so... problem is, i noticed 2 burn spots on the board, and radioshack doesn't carry this exact capacitor (I can order one from diy, just want my car running sooner)
just another pic of bad things happening, also burn spots and broken squared in red
