Sorry, it was late last night. Everything was fine a few days ago. For some reason the right. Fog light went out, looked at it and it was fine. Play with the switch and once I turn on the high beams both fog went on. Left it as it was. Now my door signal and cluster light only work with the car on ignition.

That's a bit easier to understand, but the internet diagnosis is the same as before. Go have your battery tested.

Got almost all my interior lights back after changing door bulb with light on and screw driver slipped, touched both connectors and shorted the circuit. I lost interior domes, doors, A/C and heater function, but more importantly my my gauges and their lights. None of my gauges work. ALL of my fuses checked good visually. Finally disconnected negative battery terminal and reattached and got everything back EXCEPT instruments/gauges-all dark and dead. Any ideas? How about fusible links, relays, etc.?

Visual check is ok, but you really need to use a multimeter to be certain.

Did you check all three fuse boxes? There's two in the battery compartment and the one in the driver's kick panel.

I checked EVERY pull out fuse in all three boxes. The fusible links visually look OK. I have disconnected the battery for a couple minutes and re-connected- no luck. No instrument gauges work nor do they have back lights. It seems to be affecting my performance too. When I moderately jump on it, it stumbles. Tranny? Driving smoothly it does OK. All this from shorting a door bulb, geeeez.

So no instrument gauges or lights and mirror is not powered either.

Any ideas out there?

Thanks for the help. I never knew about this box either and sure enough when I checked that fuse was blown. However, I replaced it and right away it blew again. Finnally I figured out my LED lights were causing the problem. I had leds in the side marker, clock light, parking light (headlight) and on my license plate. I took them all out and put the fuse in and it worked. I then did some troubleshooting testing with just the side markers etc and it turns out that the led in my clock light were the culprit. I realized that putting too many leds that all rely on the 10a fuse in the mystery box will probably cuase it too blow because its too much for it to handle. I'm gonna put a regular light back in the clock and just keep the leds in the side marker. I also pulled the parking light leds and license plate ones. Hope I don't get any more problems

Hey man im having the same issue with my 05 G35. I was installing some aftermarket LED and all 4 lights went out. My guess is I blew a fuse somewhere but I didn't want to go threw the trouble of figuring out which one it was by trial and error. If you can help me it would be greatly appreciated. Please send me a PM or respond to this thread, thanks in advance.

Thank god for this thread. My license plate light was the culprit. I took my car to get repaired and the body shop put led lights in my license plate light.

I swapped them out with the oem peanut bulbs and problem solved. I should have checked that first it would have saved me 3 blown fuses.

Blown Fuse for steering column radio controls

Hello Everyone, Debbie here. This is my first post on the forum. I have a 2005 Coupe. My controls on the left of my steering column quit working. Does anyone know where those fuses are located?
