i just put a cd player in.

im a beginer at this and i krimped the wires and taped them as good as i can.

im guessing tape came off and a wire touched metal because something sparked while i was driving, and my dash lights, back lights, and front left lights went out.

anyone know what i need to do to fix this?

did i blow a fuse?

feed back would be appreciated, thank you

 

yes..u probably did blow a fuse

 

are those the little clips that go in that fuse box under driver side. if so, whicih ones would ne replacing? will a blown fuse be burnt?

 

it may be burnt looking. the best thing to do (unless you have a multimeter, which in your case is highly unlikely considering the type of thread you have made) is remove them one at a time and look to see which one is bad. once you find the bad one, replace it with a good one of the same amperage. you can go to any parts store and ask them for the same exact replacement fuse. you can take it out once you find it as it is serving no purpose in your vehicle, so don't worry about that.

i suggest before you do replace the fuse, go get some electrical tape (the good kind) and tape up those connections behind you radio really well so that they never touch again. then replace the fuse.

 

wow your amazing. your post really helped. thanks a lot man!

 

LOL!! sarcasm much?

 

lol no i was being serious, now i need a fuse box diagram =[

 

do you now know which fuses actually go to the radio, dash light, rear tails, and front lights? do you have an owners manual?

 

no i do not. i only know basics of cd player

 

where are you located?
