I was replacing my side markers today and ran into a little issue. A friend of mine was helping, but he pulled the clips on the bulb too hard and the wires came out of the crimps. Well somehow he managed to make the wires touch and my tail lights, side marker lights and radio/ac control lights went out. We checked the fuses and they seem fine. I looked at the fusible links but there didn't seem to be an issue there...or maybe I just don't know what to look for. Would anyone have an idea of what the problem could be? Thanks.

 

Be sure to check BOTH fuse boxes the one under the hood on the passenger side and the one in the drivers kick panel. I would bet there is a fuse blown in one of them.

 

We did...then again we just spot checked them and it was this evening (dark outside using flash light) I will check in the morning. But the guy at the shop (where I was at the time) said he ran it through a tester and couldn't find an immediate problem.

 

Ok. There's a 3rd fuse box behind the battery we didn't check. I found a couple threads that mention it. I will check it out in the morning. Thanks for your quick response btw.

 

10 Amp small Red Fuse in the drivers left foot fuse box. Labeled "Electrical" or something like that. Infiniti provides you with spares in the same box.

 

It was actually the fuse box behind the battery, 10A. I used the spare from the drivers left foot fuse box...good to go. Thanks tho.

 

Good to hear, nothing is scarier than loosing function and not figuring it out for a bit

 

Had that happen in a previous car (2 months old)....

Raining like he!! & wipers went out & no fuse
Luckily had a stick of Juicy Fruit.
