Hi everyone

I was fixing up my gauge which I accidentally knocked over and pulled the wires out (which were tapping power from the Headunit). I think the force was hard enough that even the ground wire came off - and therefore might have short circuited the electrics. My car is an AUDM 06 Lancer ES (which has the Ralliart Engine). Currently, the following are not working:

1) Dash clock - no lights; nothing.
2) Interior light - does not turn on at all.
3) Headunit doesnt work at all - only the Pioneer one doesnt work, i tried the OEM Mitsu one and that seems to start up.
4) Headlights - will not work when car is off (key in ignition at LOCK position. Warning sound also not evident.
5) Central locking not working - both manually and with remote.
6) Trip meter will reset itself every time I turn off the car.
7) Everything at the dash doesnt work when the key is in ACC position.

Tested and working when the engine is started and key position is in ON:

1) Air-con - all fans, heater and cooler working.
2) Headlights - low beams and high beams work fine when car is on.
3) Signals
4) Brake lights
5) Cluster lights
6) Cruise control light
7) Cigarette lighter
8) Power windows
9) It drives.

What do you guys think is wrong? I havent done any diagnostics yet.

Thanks

 

I gotta ask the obvious. Did you check the fuses?

 

checked a couple already. those that i checked are fine. except i cant seem to get the cabin lamp and radio fuse in the engine fuse box out. it has this yellow holder keeping them in.

 

Those very well may be the ones that are blown.

 

check those that you cant get out, you have to pop the yellow peice off, then check the ones under the hood, everything should be fused, so you probably just blew a bunch

 

thanks guys. uve been a great help. it was the fuses that had the yellow piece on them. all is good now
