I have a 1995 240sx with aftermarket HID lights.

What happened-
Removed front lights to replace bumper.

Problem-
When I hooked everything back up the following was no longer working:
Rear lights, instrument pannel (both lights & meters), radio, emergency lights, signal lights, dome light, and aftermarket gagues. (might be more things), not even the "doors open" beep.

This was still working:
headlights, high beams, ac unit, cigarette lighter. And exterior lights and instrument panel lights work when i use the keychain to lock and unlock the car, even the rear ones.

I have checked many posts and I checked ALL the fuses, even the 100amp one. None looked poped. Also read to check the "TCU" but I can't find this on my car?

Anyone got any other ideas?

With that many things not working, it has to either be a major short or a blown main fuse or fusible link. You say the fuses 'look' ok - I would suggest a quick simple continuity test using a multimeter. Make sure you are checking the box type fuses as well as the blade type.

Good Luck!

Yes I checked the fuses with a multimeter now. I have tried following wires checking voltage but no luck, not really an expert at this. Thanks tho
