Tail lights are out - SRT Forums

SiLvRGhosT · 06-02-2005, 02:57 PM

Today i noticed my left turn signal went out and i changed both out to the APC LED ones i had in the garage and the one works so i put the othr in the passenger side now both are out and no turn sigs at all , so obviously I blew a fuse, but where??

1. My head lights still work..

2. I check the fuse box next to the steering wheel, nothing looks blown

3. I checked the one in the engine bay and theres nothinf that has to do with the situation (IMO)

Can some one with wireing/electric knowledge help me out

Do they work at all or just not when you press the brake?

the leds are polarized (it matters how the go in the socket), flip them 180 in the sockets and see if that fixes things.

I put a cheap set in backwards a while ago and blew a fuse. they hava set out now that goes in either way its actually printed on the package sorry cant remember the name but I picked them up at advance autoparts.

I know exactly what happened, same with a buddy of mine, its those damn bulbs. As soon as you put them in they blow the fuse. Its in the box under the hood, and its a 15 amp fuse, but I can't remember which one. Its either on the left side or in the center but thats definately what it is.

Thanks guys for the input, i was really not looking forward to putting my car back together for the dealer (Its stock i swear

)

Rich Tideswell - i think i tried that but (i guess you get one shot if its wrong)

madneon - do you remember what fuse it was??

BLUE SRT - I'll try the one under the hood and take a closer look at things
