ok well i had my dash lights go out so i pulled the fuse that was broken. and i went to Advanced auto and got a 10 amp fuse to match the one i pulled. but the one i bought was smaller size fuse but still same amp . now me being in a hurry just put it in and tried to start my car ..... Nothing . car didnt start , didnt even make a sound . so i put the old broken fuse back in thinking it would start but yet again nothing but once i pop start it its fine runs great . plrase any advice

 

Are you sure you pulled out the right fuse? I thought when I replaced mine, it was a 15 amp..

And there are usually spare fuses in the fuse box, just read the back of the cover to find out where they are located.

 

the fuse you pulled was it from the box under the hood or inside the car?

 

u try to make it sound like advance auto fucked up ur day....

dont hate on my employer!

 

well somehow how it ended up being my ignition switch. but now my dash lights still dont come on . could it be the dimmer switch?

 

Possibly, but I'd think more towards a fuse. Did you check the panel lights fuse?

 

ive checked all of the fuses but to be safe i can check again . and another question (which is kind if a dumb one) but is there a positvie or negative on a fuse i dont think there is right?

 

theres no pos and neg on fuses. i would put 100$ down and make a bet that its ur ignition fuse under ur hood. look in the fuse box near ur battery and its a 50 amp (i believe) fuse. if ur ingiton lights dont come on and ur car wont click at all....its 100% ur ign fuse. tell me wat happens

 

well the igntion switch went bad so that why the car didnt start but i by passed it so i didnt have to buy a new ignition switch. i can check under the hood. i dont think that the problem and also like when i leave me lights on and open the door its doesnt beep anymore to tell me i left my lights on.

 

check the instrument panel fuse i think its a 7.5 amps fuse might be .

had the same problem some time ago.

 

that is the fuse but its a ten . so i went to out and bought a pack of ten amp fuses the go in ok but it i leave the fuse cover off , and as soon as i turn my dash lights on i hear and see a pop of the fuse i just replaced and it does this every time so now i have to go buy more fuses. but why should they be blowing every time i turn on the dash lights if its the same ampage as before? (this is getting agrivating)thanks to all who have helped so far

 

also i did a search and most people with the same problem say its a wire touching a grond wire. how do i check this

 

get ohm meter or multi meter and check the resistance from the load and line side
to ground.

 

what

 

yeaa just get a ohm metter and check it out

 

ok i got a ohm meter and will anyone give me a step by step on how to use it right to find my problem. please
