Wednesday morning on my way to work hit a drain that go along the street. All of a sudden my radio shut off and the display on my OHC went out

Checked the wires today they were fine checked the fuses and it was blown. Changed it out Radio worked fine for a couple minutes and blew the fuse again.
Changed it out. working like normal now.

Now I have no dash lights. I checked the fuse on them and it was fine not blown.

Also my fog lights wont work the fuse for them is fine also.

Any ideas

 

Do your brake lights work also?

Mine did what your describing, but it was the fuse under the hood that was blowing.

I had too much stuff running off that curcuit, I had to re wire my dash lights with a heavier gauge wire.

 

The fog lights don't work because you blew the fuse that gives power to the fog light switch too. Is your HVAC out also?

 

HVAC and dash lights both

Never did check break lights

 

Its a fuse, I had the same one pop. Its one of the ones in the passenger kick panel. I PMed Rwezing about it but delated the PM so I don't remember what fuse it was that I changed lol

 

Ah I found it. Try Fuse 1

 

Alright will check it

Any ideas why the radio fuse went?

Forgot to mention while the radio wasn't working the wipers didn't work either. In my manual it didn't say anything of them being the same fuse.

 

and if that doesnt work, try fuse 2, then fuse 3

 

I checked fuse 1 it was fine

 

Anyone got other suggestions?

Radio is working along with wipers.

Still don't have dash lights or fog lights.

 

Its a fuse, your just going to have to pull each one until you find it.

 

I pulled every single fuse in the passenger side and they were all fine

 

check under the hood in that fuse box

 

Under hood fuse box, it will be a big fuse.

 

I checked the fuses under the hood they all are fine

Only other thing is the big ones I don't have any way to test them.

 

Check with a multi-meter, see if you are getting power TO and FROM the fuses, it's a PITA but elimnates anythign else. I had a similar problem where I had no dash action at all (gauges nothing worked) and it ended up being one of the positive wires on the battery terminal...

I've also had the same problem with the starter,....battery terminal wire loose

 

You can physically see if the fuse is blown, look at the connection ring through the glass.

In your manual what number does it say the dash lights are?
