Trying to replace blown up light in my dash board, and 94 Camry would not start

Trying to replace blown up light in my dash board behind heating knobs. I was successful replacing it. To my shock after I am done replacing the light, car would not start.

It cranks nice but would not start. Any guess what would have happend? Help!

What did you all take apart to replace the dash light?

I would redo everything you did for the light, and see if there is something you forgot to connect, I don't really know of anything back there that you could disconnect that'd cause that problem.

However, it may be a blown fuse (maybe you accidently shorted something out while working) I'd check for that first. Or it may be another problem, that just happened to start after you were done with the light.

Good luck

Thanks for your time.

I think the issue is totally different. My battery is weak and power from the battery is not powerful enough to start the engine. I was relying on the headlights. Head lights were powerful when I switch them on, but never knew that it is not a indication of gauging the battery.

When it comes to dash board, the bulb(EWG 203) which illuminates all the knobs on the dash board are blown. I am able to locate where the bulbs are but could not get replacement bulbs from any of the auto suppliers (NAPA/Pep Boys). They referred me to go to the dealer. I will give it a shot.
