99 acura tl.. when I got in the car this morning NOTHING WORKED... well i was able to start the car and drive and the radio and the heat workes but.... WINDOWS, DASH, ANY BUTTON NEAR THE DASH (CC,TCS BUTTON) and intrument cluster and i could not get out park without the override feature.. now i changed the ignition switch lately could that be the culprit??

UPDATE.. I have found the problem.. it was an 7.5 amp fuse... wow!!! such a little thing can cause all that crazyness... smh

ErickUa5

That fuse gave up for a reason, any work done or mods ?

May have shorted something out during the recent switch replacement ?

What Fuse?? 7.5? Clock fuse? You don't want to being replacing short fuses as they are protecting your wiring.

it made anything inside the car not work except the clock,radio, hvac system... so that must be a major fuse.. i had to drive over 45 miles before checking it ( i know it was dumb...) i hope that fuse didnt control any of the radiator fans.... cause now asfter it was replaced i am feeling studdering on low rpm driving 1-2.. i did the tune up 5 months ago and done everything on the diy section on this fourm... so I guess i messed something up

Skirmich

Have to know what fuse is if possible so we could start diagnosing without guessing.

Yikes

If it blows again, you have a larger problem.

its crazy cause i have not done any mods on this car since i got it.. only thing i replaced "if u call it mod" is the aftermarket radio the last person had in the car..

WELL........ the fuse was the 7.5 acc relay fuse.. first time it ever blew. does that fuse contol engine electrics too? like the fans on the radiator? yes i am very scared if it did.. i had to drive from dallas to ft worth TX (about 45 miles) without seeing anything working on the dash...

Skirmich

OUCH! ACC fuse could well end up being a problem in your Aftermarket Radio installation.


ACC Fuse controls most base voltage level for: Dashboard, A/C, Radio, Ignition, Etc... It doesn't control line level voltage (Thus why its low Amperage) but its basically the master base voltage to control live full 12v Voltage Relays and Stuff.


I would re-check all stuff in your Radio Installation as IF the ACC fuse blow up while driving your car will automatically turn off.

thats crazy lol.. it was funny that it started yesterday like that.. question.. would that fuse control the fans too?? now when the ac or the heater was on for that time the fan cut on.. i drove to my machanic with the heater on blast (90) so the radiator fans would stay on.. i just hope i didnt kill nothing engine wise.. THATS what i am scared of

Skirmich

Its weird because if ACC blows you should not be able to start the car as the Ignition Key should have no power.. BUT I don't know if killing the Ignition will still allow power to run from Key Position II which runs the A/C and can turn on the Fans..


This will be far better explained by an Electrician using the Electric Diagrams.. In any case if you didn't run the car too much don't worry as long as the FANS where on the Engine should had no problem being cooled down.
