So i recently installed blue led strips inside the car 2 under the dashboard and 2 under the front seats. I wired them according to this guide here post5923055.html?hilit=led#p5923055. I was just putting some seat covers on one night so i had the car on for a while with the heat and radio on, about 45min later my parking lights and my interior lights shut off and now they wont turn back on. I dont know how to fix it can anyone please give me a hand here.

Yes the car turns on everything works the same its just the parking lights in the front headlights and in the rearlights that wont turn on. Also the interior lights wont turn on as well, like the lights in the area where u shift gears
P-R-N-D-2-1 and also the lights in the knobs where u turn for hot and cold or where you control the flow of air goes to.

Sorry which one is it im not that advanced with electrical things. Hence the reason why i followed that guide cause it didn't require me to do anything with the fuses :(

You will need to check the fuses labeled 'lamp'. If they appear ok, check fuses labeled parts. You may need to check the fuse box in the engine bay too.

A good fuse with have a little wire between the two posts.

A spent one (no good) will not have this.

I just check all the ones u suggested non of them seem to be blown. That all look pretty much in tacked. Btw when the car door is open and the parking lights is set to on it makes the beep sound alerting you that your light is still on. Dont know if that helps or not. :/

Btw if a part of my wiring by accident touched the metal part of the car like under the carpet on the metal frame could that have shorted something out cause i noticed a part where electrical tape was supposed to be happen to have fell off. :/

You may want to book an appointment with your garage. The only other thing I can think of is a relay may be burnt out. A short like you speak of should take out a fuse before causing damage unless the wrong fues size was installed.

Well found out it actully was a fuse just wasn't looking in the right places....thank god it wasn't anything serious. Well apparently there is a fuse inside the relay box under the hood that has relation to the parking lights along with the interior lights as well. I didn't check the fuses there at first cause I didn't know there was any lol only thought there was two the interior dashboard one and the little rectangular one under the hood.

Well lucky for me my fathers friend owns a auto shop close by so he helped me looked at it for free and helped me switch the blown fuse from that bigger square relay box from under the hood. :)
