Default Blew a fuse..... need help

So it seems like I blew out a fuse somehow and my running lights aren't turning on anymore... neither are my tails lights on the 1st dim setting. My low/high beams work just fine and my brakes lights work fine also. Does anyone know which fuse the parking lights are.... i've checked almost all of them. I also used the search button and it turned up with nothing.

Any help is appreciated.

Check your owner's manual should have it in there. If not call the dealership and ask them. We might even have something on here telling what fuses are for what car accessory might have to look for it though.

If the tC owner manual is like the xB's, it might as well be in Japanese...............

eeeep... you think that fuse had something to do with it?

replace it yet? hmm... blah....

but i guess the big question is this.... how'd you blow the fuse in the first place? or what caused it?

Always leave your lights off when you wire tapping or do any bulbs swapping. As for the alarm, try to unhook the battery for 5 mins, then hook it back up again.
