Does anyone have a clue whats up?

Its now after hours so i can not drive to a local scion dealer to ask about the problem.

Do you guys think my mod made that problem?

Any help and suggestion will be appreciated. Thanks!

how many times did you try the remote? sometimes after unhooking the battery alarms and remotes need to resync with each other

Actually all I really did was remove the stock bulb and replace it with the LEDs.

>ALSO THIS MORNING ON MY WAY TO WORK WHEN I GOT IN MY CAR I noticed just about all my interior lights were not working including my stereo the only thing working was my gauges thank goodness since I this it's the most important thing. I was thinking it was my battery dying but my xd was running normal. I guess the only solution is to put the stock bulbs back again and see if things would go back to normal. I'll get backhere again and post if there would be any changes after that.

Check your fuses. Sounds like you blew a fuse

Definitely a fuse. I've changed all my lighting inside and out to leds and didn't have problems.

alright you guys might be right. the fuse might be blown ANOTHER HORRIFYING PROBLEM> im a total asian barbie fixing and accessorizing my own car all by myself. i barely know much about my xd and dont know what a fuse look like, where to find it and what to do now. do i need to buy another one and just replace it?

(doing a research right after i post this reply just so you guys know im actually trying and not such a slow one but your help and tips would help out a bunch! and thanks again for your time!)

once i get to fix this problem, what should i avoid doing or what are the proper ways to do to prevent blowing the fuse again?

you have two fuse panels, one under the hood on the left side, and one under the dash outboard of the steering wheel. the covers on both have legends telling you which fuses are which. there are three spare fuses off to the side in the under the hood fuse box. you can get a pack of misc. atm fuses at walmart/ autozone/pepboys. theyre smaller that the older atc fuses, look for the small blade fuses. theres a small fuse puller in the engine bay fuse panel that helps in pulling the fuses out, but a small pair of long nose pliers works better. start pulling fuses involving lights and look for one with a burnt out element.

just grabbed a couple quick cell pics.

heres the fuse panel under the hood. mines silver, yours is black. look for the dome fuse and check that one. 15amp i believe.

heres your under the dash fuse panel with the cover off.

heres the cover youll see. those are harder to check(harder to reach). be advised, the stock fuses look smaller/shorter than whet you can buy from the store, but as long as what you buy is the same width youll be good.

Before you put the new fuse in, I'd remove the leds you installed. I'm thinking you inserted one in a reversed polarity mode (backwards). So, remove the new bulbs, replace the fuse and see if your cabin lights etc. Come back on. Then turn on the switch that should illuminate your new LEDs. Insert the new led and if it does not light, put it in in 180 degrees. It should work. Also pay attention to making sure the cabin lights stay working. After all the stuff is done and buttoned up, you're all done! The fuse you're looking for is in the engine compartment driver side near the battery. 7 or 10 amp. Red or brown. Yank it out using the small white fuse puler. You can see from the side if the fuse is cut. Good luck!!

lllphoto_le3

well i was changing my drl lights and was getting a little annoyed going back in font turning the lights on and off. so i just left is on while switching it then all of a sudden the drl lights just won't lit up at all, which i thought i blew them up instead at first but the next day when i was going to work i got on my car found out that all the lights inside won't turn on either also to mention my car alarm/remote and stereo. XD but really you're guys are such a big help! totally rocked my socks!
