SOMEBODY HELP ME PLEASE

corey hendricks · November 6, 2017

So, like a dumbass I let a residential electrician try and hook up my new led Lightbar system. Well after he blew several fuses and actually melted a wire I made him stop. I'll figure out the lights by myself (usually do anyhow), but after he did whatever he did I no longer have dash lights at all, my heater and ac lights no longer come on either. Warning lights still work, and so does my message display. I've checked all fuses and they're good. Could it be a relay or something? I do alot of night driving and really need my lights back on. Any help or suggestions will definitely be tried. Thank you

You check both fuse boxes?

Yes, checked both. Going in today to check about possible relay probs. Hoping that's it

Might be a blown panel dimmer switch. Should be easy/cheap to replace.

Completely replaced the dinner switch and that whole cluster.. still a no go. Could it be just a completely fried wire leading to the terminal. Just curious cause I'm about to try and replace the whole instrument panel. What are thoughts on that??? Thank y'll for all the help. It's beyond appreciated

Do you have an aftermarket radio in your vehicle? Is it Automatic HVAC?

I can help you figure this out. I do all our electrical work at the dealership.

One thing I like to use is a Fuse buddy to tell me how many volts I have passing through the fuse. You can do the same thing with a multimeter with amps but you risk blowing the fuse.
