I was installing my radio and when I hooked it back up the interior lights shut off and won't come back on, the automatic seat belts won't work, and the in dash clock won't work unless I turn the ignition over but not on. I checked all of the fuses in the kick panel and fuse box under the hood, haven't checked the one under the airbox yet.
Any help would be great Thanks.
Radio install = no interior lights??

i DID THE SAME EXACT THING you blew a bunch of fuses. open the driver side kicker panel and check the fuses. I forget which ones are blown but you definitely blew some. when i played with my radio exact same thing happened to me, seat belt, clock, interior lights just like you described it.

I swear to God if you're right about that... I've been rocking no dome light or cigarette lighter for like 3 months I must have checked those fuses like 10 times too. Although I will be pissed about not discovering it myself, I will love having my light back.scooz14 wrote:its the alt fuse in the engine bay pass side fuse box

Re: (scooz14)
its the top left fuse. It is very hard to tell if it is blowen. Mine just blew and it only has a hairline gone. I couldnt find one anywhere is edmonton, so I wired in a 60amp fuse, it actually seams to work. I blew mine when I was boasting my car.
After mine blew, I started the car. Nothing worked. no dash, no radio, no tail lights, nothing. I touched the gas, and everything came alive. Everything seemed to work. I would be driving then I would go to hit the brake and everything would shut off, only the motor was running.
It was starting to piss me off before I put the 60 amp fuse in, so that is why I did it. And if I find the correct fuse someday I will install it, but this is good enough for me.
