Electrical NIGHTMARE...

Post by 04VibeDriver »

I installed a powered antenna on my 04 Vibe. I pulled the aftermarket deck and glove box to make running the wire easier. After replacing everything, and basking in my new found radio stations, I went to start the car and... No lights to the inst. cluster gauges, no turn signals, no power windows, no heat/ac... Any ideas? Couldnt find a blown fuse...headlight and fog lights work, int. dome works, radio works, wipers work, power locks work... :shock: :shock:

Sounds like a blown fuse. possibly the AM1 fuse under the dash on the drivers side - nasty location for fuses.
You may have to remove each possibly related fuse and test it with a continuity tester as it is too hard to judge a fuses' condition when it is installed in this location. Unless, of course, You're a Proctologist.
