so I picked up this Ek hatch about a week and a half ago...Everything was workin perfectly....Tha previous owner had a licnense plate cover that was connected to tha rear back up lights....

So I took disconnected tha wires...and everything was coo...All tha light'z worked n everything....

Just recently...only tha headlight'z work...No running lightz at all...Tha bulbz all work...When I turn on my turn signalos..everything works no problem...

I jus need to figure out wat went wrong...All tha fuses are in...Perhapz a main relay went out? Jus need some help...Thanks

CliffNotes---Running lightz dont work/Headlightz do/Fuses Are in/Turn Signalz work when used.....

you may have left some exposed wires from removing the lighted license plate light that shorted and blew the fuse for the parking lamps.

ya..that sounds like tha most reasonable answer...thanks man

 

if you need help troubleshooting and tracing, let me know. i am decent at that stuff since i do it for a living. it is also possible that your factory harness has damage. i found a spot that had cuts on it between my hatch glass and body. nothing on the back of that car has ever been touched...and that is what caused my spoiler brake light not to work. luckily it was just a break and not a short.

 

ya..that too...nothin was wrong till I pulled tha wires from tha light up license plate cover..and I think when tha wires touched..it blew a fuse...but none of tha running light's work now..and I've replaced tha fuses...I dont know wat else it could be...

 

you may have replaced the fuse, but as soon as you did, it blew again. if you have a short, replacing the fuse is not going to fix anything. the fuse will blow every time you apply power to the circuit. you need to find the wire you yanked the light thing from and check it to see what happened to it.

 

figured tha probelm out...I replaced tha fuse..it was blown..I hadnt checked it before..so that was tha probelm...All tha wires are removed now..and everything works aight...Thanks for tha help homie..I'll come to you if I run into any problemz
