Default i need someones helppppp......

so i installed my apt fog lights, wired them all up cut them on they worked fine but when i started the car they went out. i checked every fuse and none are blown, and also my gauge cluster lights went out as well. also my 12v outlet in my center console stopped working as well. can someone please give me some feedback? i even downloaded the electrical manual but i really cant figure this out.

re-check the fuses, all your connections, and maybe your H.I.D. ballasts. sounds like a fuse to me though.

take a test light and test each fuse separately. A fuse can be bad without it blowing or breaking. For them all to go out like that, it has to be a fuse.

Take the test light and ground it out, then touch it to the top of each metal circle of every fuse. Their is 2 per fuse. If it lights up then its good, if not, then its bad.

I would check all fuses under the hood and interior. Let me know how this works. Otherwise I can have you try other things

that wire is the power wire. it's not getting any power because the fuse is blown.

stop asking for help then refusing to accept the (correct) answers provided.

you blew the PANEL fuse.

though for your armrest power outlet.. that's another fuse too.. it's not related to the fogs.. so i don't know what you did.

the back of the manual show you what fuses to check.
there's no need to check every single fuse.. that's just pointless and wastes time

^^^ agreed, I was just giving him a tip on how to test his fuses. I would check the manual and find what fuse is blown and just replace that one like squallLheart stated.

Much easier!
