Okay I Goofed (Craig Brace!) any other wire guru

okay so i was trying the cruise control mod and well i put the end in the wrong part of the relay and now i have no cruise control switch at all. KNow if you dont know this, it is where you put 2 ends in a relay to over ride the relay...well your suppose to put it in the relay port 3 and 5 but i missed it and put it in the wrong one now i have no cruise control ligth on my stich so im assuming i have no cruise control.....what should i look for? what blown fuse or w/e should i look for? I didn't hear anything or anything light just won't work.

it's probably not a good idea to start adding wires across two terminals when you aren't completely sure of the wiring behind it

if you're lucky, you just blew a fuse. I think there is a page in the FAQs that has all the fuse descriptions on it - might be a useful thing to look at. Here's a hint - Nissan calls the cruise control ASCD (automatic speed control device)

OKay i drove it today and found out everything that didn't work.

abs light is on, cruise control switch nor cruise work,automatic a/c doesn't work,rear defrost, im not sure about the clock because that rearly works.

so if anyone has a clue what to do look for all the fuses looked fine.

all those things are controlled by the same fuse, what a coincidence

sometimes you can't just look at a fuse and tell if its bad or not, you need to test it - either test continuity across the fuse or test voltage on both sides of the fuse when it should be on (ACC/ON/START/whichever type of fuse it is)
