HELP! no lights...

[doodie]

Okay, I have my indiglo gauges hooked up to the cruise control wires. My Boost gauge hooked up to my cigarette lighter. The A/F gauge hooked up to the ECU but that still works. I'm not sure if any fuses blew or not but all those lights are out. Its basically pitch dark inside the car right now but the dome lights are still working. The light by the clutch pedal is working too and head lights work. Just the accessory lights don't work right now.

My fuse box cover inside the car near the clutch pedal is missing, so i don't know which fuse is the one that lights up everything inside. I pulled out every single one of them to check if any of them blown but I couldn't find any. Would it be one of the fuses under the hood?

I installed my indiglo gauges like 200 miles ago and they've been working fine. But before, when I was driving around, I kind of stepped on the gas a little hard on 1st gear and I saw the lights flicker and a minute later, the lights went out.

you cannot hook up the junk to the Dimmer Circuit.
it cant handle it.

what you did was blow a 10a fuse in the engine bay. its labeled TAIL.
Run your power for your guages from the fuse block, there is several unused spots, just find one with switched power. thats what i did.

its slightly possible to burn up the dimmer. Mine doesnt dim very much now, since i too, hooked up my guage to the cigar lighter wire.

Great, you hit it on the dot. Just changed the fuse and everything works again its weird cause on the box says 15a fuse but when I took it out, it was a 25. Porbably blew a couple times before I bought it.

glad to hear it.
id advise putting the correct aperage fuse in, and finding another source for your guage power/

Weird... this just happened to me thursday when I installed my new head unit. I connected that dimmer in the harness by accident and blew that same 10A.
