HELP!!! Side Lights Won't Work
 
I was trying to put new piaa super plasma side light bulbs in my side corners, i put them in once worked fine. The next morning went to put in the other one, then lights went out. Side marker lights dont work, parking lights dont work(signals do) tail lights wont work(brakes do) Dash board Gauge wont work. These all dont work when i turn my lights on. I was wondering if this was a broken fuse, and also if my cars performace will decrease. PLEASE HELP!!!!!

Hurry and fix those lights b/c for everyday that they are out you lose 10hp from the life of the engine.....






































j/k....try putting your stock wedge bulbs to see if it works & it just the lights. If not, check the fuses. Also have you played w/ the wires at at...like doing the sidemarker & turnsignal to work together (as show in the How-To @ www.5thgenmaximas.com )

I tried putting in the stock bulbs, but the funny thing is when i was chaning the side marker lights the dash, tail, and parking lights and side marker lights died on me. Putting in the stock bulbs did nothing. The wires look fine. I was wondering if a fuse blew and which one would control those 4 things.

definetly sounds like a fuse blew...check your owners manual to see exactly which fuse it is & where its located...then go buy a new fuse & pop that sucker in...:D

:laugh:

I'm sorry - it just hit me as funny. It may be a fuse, but it could be a relay as well. Probably not a big deal - don't fret.
