I had a set of neons under the dash that someone else installed for me. I was trying to install some under the seats now. I reached the place that was tapped for power by the old neons underneath the steering column. I had the old neons on to help me see. So I tied the new neons on. I unscrewed the metal plate (the one you would undo to take down the steering column) to use as a ground. But when I took it off the metal plate touched the area that was tapped by the old neons and they cut off. Now everything that was on that harness has no power...radio, acc, starter, and the neons. I have no idea what happened, maybe when the metal touched the wire tap it used me as a ground and shorted.

Any suggestion, thanx in advance for the help - Chad

Look at the fuse block under the hood. If I recall correctly.... There are some fuses with a clear top. Check each one. It will be very noticable if one is blown.

fuses....check every fuse, starting with the ones tied into what won't work.

Found it...thanks guys. Its one of the bigger fuses 30A. Can I get those at autozone or advanced....or is it something i have to go to the dealer for.

THanks - CHad

if it's on of the ones in the fuse panel, any auto parts store will have it.

If it's one of the fuse blocks (fusible links) under the hood, it may be easier just to goto dealer. Of course you'll pay out yer ***, but it cuts down on going store to store and having someone match it up.

I have found RadioShack to not be any cheaper than AutoZone, at least where I am from. AutoZone is the place to go for those things, say I.

they might, but i never go to radioshack unless i have a part number, since anyone i've dealt with there is an idiot. I'm saying that if you go to a dealer, you can say it's this particular fuse, and they can just give you an OEM replacement. At radioshack, you'll have to explain what it'll fit, amperage, etc, and then hope that they can find a replacement, which will be hard, considering they're idiots.
