So I bought LEDglow's interior kit. I am using the mini add a fuse and plugging it into fuse #20 inside the car which is for the sunroof. I am grounding it on the metal bolt near the fuse box inside the car. But it won't light up? Any suggestions on what I might have done wrong.

hmm... idk if fuses have different sides for polaritys? like try switching from one side to the other on the fuse?

did you turn the key on? Hit the on button on the controller? Sorry for the stupid questions but if it's not that and your connections are good all I can think of is a defective unit. Try going directly from the fuse box terminal in the engine bay and a ground on the frame (strut tower bolts would do) to make sure it's not just your wiring.

have you tried flipping it around, im pretty sure one side is + & one is - and they arent interchangable... just a thought...

I figured it out...but now I need to secure my ground and that bolt under the fuse box inside won't loosen so I can tighten it down on my ground wire. Any ideas on that one?

any metal that is part of the frame should work just fine.

im so pissed at the LEDglow interior kit... The way the wires run through the controller the mounting options are extremely limited, please get a pic of where you mounted your controller. Otherwise it rules, one of the best $40 mods ever.

I will go buy a terminal wire crimp and find a wrench to get it loose. That is the best place I can find to ground the kit.

I will post the pics and a how to once I get it together lol...just have to get the ground secure then we are set.

theres just no real way to mount the controller flush, i have mine just laying across the center in front of the ebrake until i figure something out.

yeah the fitment for the controller is awful because of the 4 wires sticking out from it right at the box....i put my ground underneath the center console beside the computer under the e-brake...lots of the bolts are painted and that was the best spot i found where the bolts werent painted

Way back when I had it in my old LT, I mounted my controller under the dash under the steering wheel. If you look under the dash near the center console, there's a small plastic lip that sticks out. Mine was superglued to that. Once I got enough glue on it and got it set, it never moved, and was real easy to reach.

yay but that what happens when you want to have crazy rave parties in your cobalt and change the lights color and tempo man? you have to keep reaching under your dash!

Never found it to be that hard, gotta have some short arms to not be able to reach, and you don't really need to be able to see the buttons.

^maybe i just can envision the exact spot you mounted it to, mine is not on the priority list right now because in the hospital with a new born but ill figure it out soon.

if u just had a new born i doubt any crazy rave parties are going down in the cobalt anytime soon

fuses are not polerized, LED's are test the LED strip directly to the batery to see if its good. LED's are polerized so if it doesnt work one way try the other.
