Ok, So i know if the tail lamp fuse blows the dash lights go out to, so you know your tails went out. Well i checked that and the fuse is just fine. I start looking around and the front bumper (corner lights) don't turn on. The blinkers and hazards work though. Also the gauges DON'T MOVE (No tach,speedo,gas reads 1/2 tank which is whats in there,temp). and they do not light up. and the climate control don't work (no heat)

What do you guys think it could be?The turn signals work, hazards work,brake lights work.

What the fawk.

check other accessory fuses, or sometimes a fuse will look fine but it is actually blown.

Well, Let me start they DO LOOK GOOD. i will give you and everyone that. BUT i hate wheel knock offs. That and these wheels are so overplayed that they just look "normal" to me. Lets not forget how cheap/****ty they are made. i can't even begin to list how many bad things i've heard of sportmax's breaking/cracking/etc. My girlfriend has some 15+ Year old mesh wheels with some curb rash she has hit some mammoth potholes (one of which ruined my buddies BMW 135 rim) and her rims are still in good shape no bends nothing. I just think wheels are one thing you shouldn't cheap out on.
