HELP! My Parking Lights don't work! I checked all the fuses.
 

here's what happened.

took of my 7443 turn signal on the drivers side and put in a led that was working, and I heard a pop and the parking lights went out.

things that were affected:

TAILLIGHTS fro cryin out ( I can't freeeckin drive at night till I get this)

inner gauges dont fade anymore :(

side marker and front parking light doesn't trun on anymore.

wierd thing, my hazards work and the led blinks nice, and the turn signals work fine, a lil faster, and i put in the old oem bulb and it blinked back to normal speed, but still no cigaaaaaRRR!

i'll give mad karma to all the time yalls can spare... :D

You popped your fuse. You just didn't check all of you fuses. Check the ones in the engine compartment. Hopefully you didn't cut or grounded any wires when you were doing your install. I would back track on any open wires and make sure they are not touching ground or the body of the car. Try checking all the fuses again. If you put in a new fuse and it pops then you have a nice little short. Have fun chasing that. :D

There are two fuse boxes by the battery. Take off the surrounding battery cover on the top and you will see them. I had a similiar problem and initially couldn't find the right place. GL.

It's happenning to my car too, i can't seems to find anything short because i don't really mess with anything installing my audio system. It happen right after the dealer replace by bose head unit because it's not working right. Mine will have to be repaired by the dealer (under warranty i hope), this thursday

You need to replace your 10A fuse in the engine compartment next to the battery. It is the very top one.

You can get to the fuse box WITHOUT removing the battery. You need to remove the shroud that is just above the battery by removing the 2 stud screws using a flat head screw driver to pop them out. The fuse box is that black box to the left of the battery.

Ivory, if i remember correctly, the fuse for the tail lamp label "tailllight" is the 4th or 5th one from the top. Don't think it's the very top one

Thanx!!!
 

i'm still wonderin why infiniti didn't just use a dedicated fuse, oh well. the cars at the dealership right now, hope it's still gonna be under cheese. and yea i pulled out every single fuse, related and unrelated, even pulled the relays and clicked three times for the hell of it...

:confused:

keep ya posted folks.

my car is at the dealer also, they are keeping it overnight too, they must be tearing my car apart

got my car back, every works, except the dam illumination lights, and the damm taillight is still off

got my baby back , f@ckin 240$ it was a blown fuse and they had to reset the ipdm control module, AGAIN i checked all fuses, dealer said it cost em 2 hours to fix. at least it all works now.

damn warrantee should of covered it...

wish you the best htn

???? isn't the warranty bumper to bumper????

there is an internal breaker or somthin, I had one trip on me once, I blamed my wife b/c the interior lights wouldn't come on. I just disconnected the battery for a min and reconnected it, it reset the breaker and everything was fine. Try that out.

Sorry wifey. :rolleyes:

cool! howd you reset and locate the breakeR?????? segal thx

Nope....Not when they figure out you were messing with the car's electrical system. Let's say i lowered my car and then i bring it in for a noise and they isolate it out to be the lowered springs they are going to charge because factory does not cover aftermarket parts or owners tampering with the car.

I am not as lucky as you, got my car back again, my bill was 650, they said the door harness was damage (the part you drill thru for speaker wires to go to the door), so replace that, it's mostly labor cost.
