"fuse" and lighting issues

turbonick · Post by **turbonick** » Thu Feb 25, 2010 1:27 am

searched, couldnt find anything maybe i just didnt use the right key words... the odometer cycles between the milage and "FUSE" didnt think anything of it because i'm swapping the car and havent driven it yet just picked it up recently. tonight i had to move it so we could plow. turned on the headlights and the headlights were the only thing that turned oon. no tail lights, no gauge cluster lights, no interior lights with the door open.

anyone know what these problems are from? or if they are related to eachother?

thanks,
nick

When mine said fuse and nothing worked, the battery somehow became like instantly drained. I charged it and it worked fine. Check the battery charge?

maybe it will tell you that a FUSE is blown?

charge the battery. when i had that happen to me it was because the battery had somehow completely drained itself. charged it and it was fine. most likely that is what your experiencing.

the reason that fuse thing is coming on is because your dome light is either burned out, radio is disconnected, or the only fuse that did blow id the one in the yellow cover in the under hood fuse box

the fuse was good in that yellow holder. put a new one in anyway though. still says "FUSE" and still no interior light or tail lights. didnt check the bulb, but a burnt out interior bulb shouldnt make the tail lights and gauge cluster lights not work. anyone know what that might be?

they might be two or three things wrong, id check the interior bulb replace it , replace the fuses , also have you pulled the bulbs in the tails to make sure they are not blown?

yeah that's the first thing i did when i didnt get any tail lights. im gonna bring my cont. tester home with me tomorrow after work and see if maybe i got some cut/broken wires. looks like they used to have a stereo system in this car so who knows maybe they just went to town cutting stuff to get it out.
