help!!

So yesterday i tried fixing one of my leds in my generation 2 headlights. THe headlights with the three led's on the bottom. So the wiring ended up coming out of the middle one so none of the leds work on any of the headlights. That i coudl deal with but now my guage lights and radio/climate control lights dont work at night. I couldnt even see how fast i was going tonight. What should i do?

blown fuse. check the parking light fuse. did you work on the car with live power? you probably grounded out one of the wires and it took out the fuse.

Go to the bottom right center of the passenger side (leg/foot area). Pull off the cover and find the fuse. Its a snapping click when you un hook the cover.

lol, why were you playing with the lights then... if you can't even change a fuse.

It is easier if you get a kit with a puller. You snap the piece off where they said. In your manual it will show you what is where I believe. You just pull out the old one and snap in a new one. You just need to right amp which it has written right on the top as a number.

You can check any fuse as they will be clearly blown. There is a thin metal filament in them. It will look burnt and be severed if it is no good.

Just take out the fuse with the lil tool thats in there and replace with the new fuse. On the cover should be the diagram of the fuses so you know what fuse goes to what. Just find the fuse and replace with the new one.
I would suggest holding the cover upside down, even though its hard reading it, its easier finding the fuse.

And like mentioned above, use your manual. IT SHOWS YOU.

ok so i looked at all the fuses today that relate to dash board lighting and all of that and none of them are popped. what else could it be??

remember this all happened after the led's went out in my projectors after removing one.

go pop your hood. there is a fuse box in there(the box that has the red plastic cover over the battery post.) in that fuse box your going to see a 15amp mini atm fuse in the middle all by itself. this is your parking light fuse. im 99% sure this is your problem. even if it doesnt look blown, replace it. some fuses go bad and look perfectly normal

dude u were right. I tried this before i saw ur post. I tried all the interior fuses and then went into the hood and tried the parking lamp first, and of course it was fried. Thanks though. Everything is back on. Led's in projectors, gauge lights and climate control lights. Ha. I feel good.
