Any modification done to your car will void your warranty according to the "stealership". Check your fuses.

Check them both. i'm not sure which ones go where but check the diagrams for the fuses. My corner lights stopped working a while ago. I just left them alone.

Check all the fuses that could be related. WITH A FUSE CHECKER. Sometimes fuses will not look blown, but still be bad.

Modifications only void your warranty if the cause of the problem can reasonably be attributed to the modification

Wow, this is interesting. Seems like something is going more crazy thatn a fuse. It could be a short somewhere. Maybe a wire pinch.

Dude - if you still have your bumper to bumper warranty, get your azz to the stealership. If they try to tell you your mods caused this, kindly hand them a copy of the Magnuson-Moss Act, the interpretation of which says aftermarket parts (if they are to replace the "OEM" [Original Equipment Manufacturer - I will state here that I hate when people say OEM is Original Equipment Match, because that's incorrect as the acronym was originally used] part) do NOT void the warranty.

Bottom line, for warranty purposes, replacement is not a euphemism for modification. Modification would mean any aftermarket addition. You can change OEM parts with comparable parts without voiding a warranty. You just can't add parts (e.g. plenum spacer) and expect all of your warranty to be OK. However, I believe they still have the burden of proving that the added part caused the problem in order to not honor your warranty.

I'm not a legal expert but this is the interpretation of the law as I understand it.
