I'm so freakin stupid

[Shift_Altima]

I was switching the LED bulbs in the doors. The ones that turn on when u open the door. And i dropped the bulb under the seat. So i figured id take the car off the driveway which is on an incline to get a better position to stick my hand under the seat. Completely forgetting that the plasitc piece was off i slammed the door and bent a piece of metal. Now allllllllll of the lights wont work besides headlights brake lights and dash lights. My trunk light.. glove box light.. map lights.. vanity lights.. door lights.. and rear light won't turn on. I'm gonna tkae it to nissan. I'm so freakin pissed off

u think i should take it to nissan or fix it on my own? I'm gonna act as if i have no clue what happend and see if they figure it out. Because if i tell them i slammed the door on it they're gonna tell me tough luck ur paying.

sounds like you may have just blew a fuse, they can be bought at Walmart for cheap. Good luck.

If these guys think the fuse is to blame spend a few bucks to replace all of the fuses. If that doesn't fix it, put the original ones back and then see what the dealership says about it.

Hey man.. it could be worse... I was with a friend when he was putting speakers in the door of his new ride... passenger side... and he pulled out of his driveway without closing the door... it completley bent the door around and cost him like $1k.... this is a little light! ull fix it cheap!

Also... remember to use proper lift points! http://elisetalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=30674

I wouldn't replace all your fuses, just pull each out one by one and take a look to see if any are burnt out. It's very obvious when they are.

Crossing my fingers for ya-- hope it's only a fuse. Good luck!

woow long beach those are some nasty pictures. Makes me happy i only messed up the lighting in my car lol. Where's the fuse box guys? I'm pretty clueless about these things

[johnny_d]

the fuse box is the black box on the right side of the engine bay, it's the L shaped box that's touching the Red positive terminal of the battery

I ran into this problem as well when installed LED's into my A/C. The fuse popped for some reason.

The fuse box that you are looking for is actually not in the engine bay. It is in the cabin, by the place where the key fob is inserted into.

On the other side of the fuse box cover is a diagram of the fuses and what each does. Find that one that is for interior lighting (or something like that, I can't recall) and replace it with a spare fuse, which is also provided in the fuse box.

Hope that helps...
