hey guys,
I was switching my corner lights last night to some blue LEDs, and everything was fine until I closed my hood and the corner lights, back tail lights and in dash light all shut off at once. I was wondering if anyone knows the problem.

PS ...I already checked all the fuses there fine

 

Did you check the underhood fuses AND the cabin fuse boxes? Sounds like you blew a fuse. Least I hope you did, cuz otherwise it sounds like the relay

 

happened to me as well, it was a fuse in my case, either that or all your wiring just happend to burn out all at once, but thats what the fuses are for


its not anything with the LEDs because ive got amber LEDs in all my corners and they work just fine

 

even though fuses look good they could still be bad recheck them

 

Small lights fuse under the hood controls gauges/dash and all corner lights (front/rear). Check it by replacing with a new fuse (as fuses oftentimes don't appear to be blown).

 

yup, it was fuse.... i rechecked and it was the small light fuse (15)

 

Bump, whered you get that fuse from? how much? thanks.

 

At my old shop, we sold them for 10 cents each. But I doubt you'll find that deal anywhere else. Odds are, you'll find them in a small case for a few bucks if that. Any auto parts store should have them. Just make sure it's the same number as you pull out.

 

Fuses are cheap man, any auto part store has them in sets. Doubt you can buy them individually, but it's always good to have spares.

Edit: Damn, beat me to it, haha.

 

I called Chris, told me there were spares in the inside fuse box. got the problem solved. thanks guys. i guess my LED's didnt have resistors like my old ones did.

 

i had the same problem only it blows the fuse every time i turn the lights on. i once smelled burning so im thinking that the switch is f***d.... i hope so anyways cus i bought a new one and its $70 to install. btw does anyone know if the 97-01 prelude light switch/turn signal switch is compatible with our cars? pretty sure it is.......

 

so you called me after the thread? wow I thought you called me first, god damn never thought explaining a fuse would take 15 mins
