Clock and parking lights dont't work...DAMN IT!
 
WTF? I re-rewired my passenger 2k2 hid(I'm checking to see why my HID comes on when the daytime running lamps are on) Well, after all that i could not manage to fix the damn thing! When I got back into my car, the clock does not work! What the hell did I do guys? And I just noticed that my parking lights don't work either....:bawling: I'm an idiot...can anyone help me here?

Check for blown fuses...

What would the clock fuse be under...i don't see a fuse that says "clock"....anybody?

Tai Mai Shu Sep 19, 2002 05:03 PM

Just look for a blown fuse instead of looking for the "clock" fuse. The clock circuit is probably shared with a bunch of other components.

TimW Sep 19, 2002 05:05 PM

oh no... you do NOT want your HIDs on the DTRLs. they are 1/2 voltage... which equals 2x amperage. which equals POOF.

(assuming they would even come on that way)

I suspect you wired them to the turn signals.

what exactly did you do... exactly... which wire to which on the harness?

big h Sep 19, 2002 05:06 PM

GET OUT! Really? It seems that there are alot of fuses missing under there...

Tai Mai Shu Sep 19, 2002 05:09 PM

I didn't think the 02's had DTRL's. My lights do not come on in the daytime, I'm I missing something?

big h Sep 19, 2002 05:14 PM

Tim: My hid's still work fine...its just that I can not get the parking lights to work...there are three wires from the turn signal, one went to the red yellow, one went to the ground, and the last one was joined with the orange/black(from the HID harness) and a wire from the DRTL. I did happen to blow the 15amp underhood fuse and replaced it.

big h Sep 19, 2002 05:16 PM

tai: I'm from Canada, we have factory DRTL's on all cars.

Tai Mai Shu Sep 19, 2002 05:22 PM

ah so, I suspected that. thanks.

TimW Sep 19, 2002 05:30 PM

are you grounding to the body?

Did you see your hibeam light faintly illuminated?

big h Sep 19, 2002 06:36 PM

Tim: Well, it turned out to be the tail lamp fuse (underhood) and the electronic accessories (inside the car). My neighbor saw me struggling came over and figured it out right away...nice guy! BUT I still have the DTRL problem...Hey if I send you my harness schemetic (wire colors), would you be able to help me out with what I'm doing wrong?

TimW Sep 19, 2002 10:41 PM

I'd be happy to talk a peek, but I have no experience with DRLs... I can look at the schematic and give somewhat of an opinion tho...

I hate to be the "newbie" yet again, but Im having the same problem with none of my parking lights working. My car was broken into earlier this week and the stole my new radio. In doing that I know they messed up some electrical wires becuase the day after my dash lights were flickering a bit and than the just stopped coming on. So I have no lights on my dash at night, my clock doesnt work, my tail lights dont light up unless I hit the break, and the two little lights next to the HID's dont work. Im gonna check all my fuses inside today but where are the fuses that you all speak of under the hood. Is this in the manual? If so I apologize in advance :) Any help would be appreciated. Thanks guys

big h Sep 20, 2002 10:00 AM

abcdefhg: Yah you need to replace your fuses. Your electrical problems were the same as mine.

sounds like they ripped off all the wiring/harnesses behind your radio...check to see if any wires are FRAYED..because the illumination wire sounds like it grounded blowing your fuse to your lights.
