So today I finished installing 2 LED lights under the dash. (one on drivers side and one on passangers side) now when I plug in my radar dector to the plug under the AC controls ot doesnt work!! I dont know why it isnt working. i installed the LEDs and connected them to a switch that i bought at auto zone. can someone tell me why the cigarette plug under the AC controls isnt working??

 

Did you blow a fuse?

 

maybe you grounded something out when you were wiring... check the fuse...

 

Check what fuse?

 

cehck wireing and fuse on the side of the dash on drivers side.

 

Its on the passengers side. and which fuse? theres a bunch

 

Theres also a fuse under the hood

 

so which one do i need to check? would the fuse be the thing that makes it not work? the other cigarette lighter works (the one next to the E-brake)

 

I did the same thing on my balt when I wired up my lighting

Its the fuse under the hood
I forget what it was labelled though

Start pulling fuses and find the burnt one

Edit: it was the trunk fuse

 

so that should be the only thing thats making it not work even though the other cigarette plug works?

 

yeah, i had the same problem

does your trunk open? that will tell you for sure

 

my trunk opens....

 

What else would it be???

 

anyone else know what it could be?

 

loose wire?

 

Take it into the dealer, i doubt they'll figure out it was your fault

 

well i drilled a hole into the plastic next to the cigarette lighter. do you really think that they will fix it under warenty

 

check the wire

 

what am i going to check for in the wire? how many ground wires can i put in the same place? i have the ground from the switch, and 2 LEDS and underbody grounds in the same place

 

ok so i took the center consuel apart again and i noticed that the cigarette plugs are different. the one next to the e-brake has some black thing inside it and the one below the AC controls doesnt have anything. i also noticed that when i plug in the radar to the plug under the AC, it doesnt go in as far as the other plug. can someone try this to see if that is my problem?

 

come on guys i need some help here

 

do you have a fluke(meter) or know how to use one??

 

I have no idea what that is. lol

 

Can anyone tell me what is wrong?

 

I still say go thru and check all your fuses
