Did you put the screwdriver in the socket? If so, you blew a fuse. Check the fuses in your car; If these are good look at the fuses in front of your battery tray.

 

you blew the fuse for your parking lights and rear lights. look where all the fuses are by your steering wheel and it should be marked like brake light fuse, or tails lamps or something. anyways youll see if its the broken one, and just replace it.

 

the interior, corner, and brake lights are all on the same fuse. if you did the corner light rewire and put high wattage bulbs, then you are sure to blow your fuse. it happened to me when i did my rewire and put some hyper whites in, after like 20 mins, driving on the road, all my lights except for head lights went out, very dangerous cause the people behind can't see you unless you hit the brake. what you need to do change your fuse to a 20 amp and a upgraded harness won't hurt either.

 

If you swap a higher amp fuse, wouldn't it be a bad idea? b/c instead of blowing at 10 (or whatever it's rated at) amps, then it'll blow at 20? and could damage something.

 

10,15, and 20 are ok, that is what i used but 30, you are asking for trouble

 

you blew the fuse marked "Tail" in your fuse box.. replace with another 10 amp fuse.. nothing more than 10 though, or your car will be in the shop like mine is, getting about 20 wires on the wiring harness rewired.. lol

 

Be careful about putting in any fuse higher then what is supposed ot be in there, thats the whole point of a fuse , it will blow before soemthing in the line becomes damaged. if you put a larger fuse, damage can be done without the fuse blowing and you dont want that.

 

i got the damn problem fixed..thanks a lot for the info guys..what a relief
