I feel like my car is punishing me for keeping it on the road for the winter...

so i was being a model citizen, fooling around with a girl in the parking lot,
and it was uber cold. so i started and stopped the car a few times.
i didnt notice it then, but on the way home i did. i noticed it was really really dark in my car.
to my dismay, my climate control was not lit up at all (heater dials etc) and my neons under the dash were no longer on either. I personally think it might have been due to the frequent start and stop of the car, but i could be wrong... we all know i have been before.

I have this feeling that I might have blown a fuse, but i imagine that might have caused the cluster gauges to be out too... but my cd player, ipod and my clock are all receiving power...

I have the lights all hooked up to a relay behind the center console. Is it possible that the relay went? could it be a fuse? am i slow? why does guinness rule?

 

the lights probably caused it, they should be on their own circuit so things like this don't happen. should be fused at the point you hook up to the cars electrical too, regardless of where you connect. it's possible you just blew a fuse. the things you mentioned being on are not on the same fuse as those you said stopped working, so start there. do you know where the fuse boxes are?

 

right about the brake under the dash

at the meet this summer i might take your head home on my hood

I didnt know if they were on the same cicuit, but maybe it might be the relay... i dont know, but it could be a combo of things...
its not hurting the driveability of the car, but its just impossible to see some stuff without it lit in the black of night.

 

there are more fuses under the hood too. have you checked them all?

 

nah,
i will tomorrow, it was too cold today to do anything with a car...
buffalo is the poo.

 

its the fuse that says 7.5 under the hood bah! im in rochester and i took out my interior to get it washed. snow! forget bout it

 

wow, gonna assume you have had this problem before?
that saves me some time.
thanks lot fakeevo.

 

just once when i was installing gauges, i dont smoke so why do i need power going to the cigeratte lighter?

 

not a smoker either...
but i like to see my climate control...
and the neons look nice at night

 

careful my friend, push to much power into those thin wires might make em hot n smoke. itd probably be better if you rewired them and gave them thicker gauged wire. i thought pushing 3 gauges was enough, lots of neon lights are much worse.

 

they have been fine since i bought the car,
but the fact that i have this dilemma is reason enough to seek your solution.

 

new issue, the right tail light wont turn on, i thought it was a light, but i changed it with 3 different bulbs, no luck.

even tried to hook up a whole different lighting assembly,
that didnt work,
took one of the bulbs and put it in the left side, worked.
what would cause this?
again im thinking fuse.,..

 

if it was a fuse both taillights would be out

 

have you checked your flasher arm
i've had the same problem withsome other car
and it was the flasher assembly
witch was f$%ked

 

im not 100% sure what a flasher arm is...
what is wierd, the turn signal still works, i am not sure if the brake light works cause i didnt have anyone to help me at 1am, but im gonna look into it now.
