Exclamation fuse help..

k..so here's how the story goes..

once upon a night i was messing with my a/c control lights and i sorta plugged the little light in while the light switch was ON. i gave a soundless jolt. and now my lights barely light up. i'm thinking/hoping it was the fuse, but i cant find where the fuse for that is. i've searching the owner's manual, but it doesnt really speicify which fuse is for that area of lighting. any help?

Just start checking the fuses under the hood and above and to the left of your feet, but I doubt that's your problem seeing as some light is still there.

how did you blow it? cause i checked my fuses and they all seem to be in tact. it might be the bulbs, but all of htem don't show light(very faint if any)..and by all i mean the 2 for the a/c controls and the cig lighter light..

did you check the fuses under the hood? check them all...

also make sure your dimmer is not all the way down...

if its all the way up and the those a/c lights and cig lighter light is still dim and your gauges are bright you might have fried the wire that controlls the brightness of the bulbs for the a/c and cig lighter
