check your fuses first.

spongebob · 09-27-2004, 11:59 PM

all the lights are out. except the headlight and brake lights.

Check the fuse box under the steering wheel.
Pull out the tray and on the back, it should have a sticker with all the fuses and what they are for.

It's most likely a blown fuse (15 amp) most likely coz that happened to me before. check the interior its either a 15 amp or a 20 amp fuse.

its just the interior its the out side lights too when you dirve at night the tails and the front two corners dont work wheres the fuse for that at?

Check your manual, then the fuse box under the steering wheel, then the fuse box under the hood.

i found the burned out fuse i put two 15 fuse in and less than 3 seconds it blew it so do i need a higher fuse or something is wrong with the wireing?

Did you put in any aftermarket bulbs, relays, etc. before the problems arose?

spongebob · 09-30-2004, 07:50 PM

no aftermarket bulbs except for some indiglows which those are pluged into another fuse had them about a year or so, i put in 2 -15amp fuse they just burned out in 3 seconds.

Did you have any of the lights on when they blew?

It helps to narrow down where the short is.

spongebob · 09-30-2004, 10:05 PM

the car was shut off and i put a new fuse in then turn on parking lights and about 3 seconds again it blew. blew about 5 fuses already so i think its the wireing.

ground wiring, hmmm a pain in the ass to figure out. Good luck man.

Why do you have the Indiglos powered off another fuse? You're using fuse taps? Which fuse are you tapping off of?
