shorted my cluster lights out... wtf..

[nigel1]

so last night I was messin around with led's and I was trying to rig up some blue ones, but I accidentally touched positive to negative and all the lights turned off. so im a little confused as to what hapened. I looked over all the fuses and they all seemed to be in tact. what could I have possibly done, because usually when wires cross the fuse pops. I know theres the possibility that I didn't notice the blown fuse, or couldn't find it. would anyone know which fuse it whould be for the interior cluster lights? thanks.:duh:

clifs notes

*wires crossed

*unknown if fuse blew or what

*cant find the blown fuse

*im going to go search some more as soon as I post up this thread...

Keep searching, it's a fuse. If not, pull the dimmer switch out and inspect it, then move on to the TCU.

If you didn't notice in the sig, but I have an s14, and I guess they dont have a tCU.. I checked the dimmer switch, but it seemed to be fine. when I searched , I read that the tcu was a white box next to the fuses, unless teh tcu is another color for s14's I dont think there is one... :(

what to do...

all the searcing is not paying off at all. :(

also is it true the rear lights are connected to the same fuse as the cluster lights?

I hella need to figure this out... I work at 5:15 too :(

Found the problem. the insturment cluster lights are connected to the same fuse as the tail lights. I just barely bothered to check that fuse are sure enough it was dead. problem solved.
