okay guys so i was installing my defi guages and when i turned on my car the gauge would be on but it wouldn't light up. Then i noticed other things that didn't light up such as my climate control, cig lighter, one of the rear tail light and passenger light but the light on top of the corner. Also, everything works fine when my alarm is armed. I checked the fuses and everything seems fine. Any help will be greatly appreciated. thanx

 

Underhood fuse in fuse box.

 

what about it??^^

 

faulty gauge??? sounds odd that it's only partially working.

 

^the gauges work perfect only when my car alarm is armed.

 

It's probably blown. That's why only one of your tail lights is out.

 

how about the climate control and cig?

 

Check your fuses. It's not uncommon that all these things would run off of one fuse.

 

Have you rechecked your wiring. Try disconnecting the wires and then see if everything is fine again.

 

disconnected everything but still having the problem

 

Did you check the underhood fuses or did you just check the cabin fuses? I bet I know what will happen if you swap # 20 and 21 under the hood.....

 

check all the fuse in the cabin...what will happen if i change number 20 and 21?

 

he is betting it will fix your problem. Check under hood fuses.

 

i will tomorrow morning ...thanks alot for all the help guys hopefully i can fix the problem

 

are 20-21 the ones in the yellow holder under the hood?

cause i just changed one of them today,the top one, and it was for the radio/clock/ door locks. wasn't fun to change either.
