Ok So on my 99 Si I put a new battery in and went to turn the key to use my radio and it didn't go on, neither did any of the dash lights. Everything worked fine before, I had a older battery and I connected it to test out my new radio. (car is in storage for winter)

The hazard lights work, and the blinker signals work in the cluster.

All the exterior lights work, and the dome lights work.


My guess is that it's a fuse, somehow one (or a couple?) fuses blew when I connected the battery. I don't have any spare fuses at the moment but I checked a few of them and they looked fine, and i had one to replace the 7.5a fuse for the interior lights and it didn't do anything.

Any ideas what it could be? or possibly which fuses it could be?

Thanks.

 

Get some fuses, lol
idk if you checked both fuse boxes under the hood and inside the car.

My cuz did this and he tried all the listed fuses but no luck.

So he started swapping them out one by one and it fixed it.

Could be a blown fuse that isnt very noticeable to the eye.
Id replace any and all w/ the interior lights, cig, radio, cluster.

 

Ya I need fuses lol.

But if it is one under the hood then I would have to know which one since they aren't all regular fuses.

I guess I'll just try replacing all the obvious ones for now.


I'm just hoping that it actually is a fuse somewhere and not something else.

 

i believe the dash light fuse is inside the car, check the FAQ for the diagrams etc. but when i pulled my tach out to replace the lights i replaced the fuse and it was under the dash fuse panel

 

yeah I got my tires change recently, and when I got my car back my dash didn't light up at all. So I checked all the fuses under the dash and sure enough it was.

 

Id do all the interior obv. ones and I believe there is like one or two under the hood that are related to interior lighting/radio stuff....or Im confused.
