Electrical Problems

I kinda must of short-circuited something when I was disconnecting my lighter. >.< Uh.. And now my radio doesnt turn on. Do I just go and change a fuse or am I fucked?

if its an aftermarket deck... check the fuse in the back of it first unless all decks have one, i know mine does.
and check the fuses in ur panel
if there fine, check ur wires 2 the deck, if there fine, check the battery, if its fully charged and no other fuses r blown.... ur prolly fucked

[l2ice rocketz]

I have the stock radio, and when i was taking out the cig lighter, I forgot to disconnect the negative of the battery and saw a short. It's probably just a fuse right? Also my interior light when u open the door doesnt turn on.

yup that'd be a fuse
mine blows all the time and cant fix it! so i said fuck it hehe, but my stereos on a different fuse hehe
but yea i'd check ur fuses first

yup, there might be a fuse on the power or ACC wire on the harnesses behind ur deck too.

Is the doorlight somehow tied to the same fuse as the radio? Because it doesnt light up either. Im just wondering.

[fiercecivic]

yeh almost ur whole dash is wired together lol. i think if u have a dash clock is goes out too, im not sure

[l2ice rocketz]

Dayam... and I was about to get my new cd player for my car too... now I hafta go out and buy a new fuse or fuses. X_X

a fuse is only like 2 bucks for a 10 pack... and your car may have a few extra's in it if your lucky, crawl under the dash and take a peep

[fiercecivic]

youll need a 10 amp fuse for the one u blew
