Today I was installing LED bulbs for my side markers and my front driver side bulb housing was a little off so I played around with the prongs of the part that keeps the bulb in place to make it tighter with a screwdriver. I wasnt forceful or rough with it just to get the thing a little tighter. Well after that none of the other sidemarkers turned on and my dash doesnt light up after it. Is it possible that I could've shorted the whole thing? My headlights work but my sides and dash dont turn on. I didnt even think this was possible. Do they all depend on each other to work?

 

You probably blew a fuse..check your fuses (under the hood and underneatht he steering wheel) and post with results.

 

Yeah its probably a fuse, its gonna be one in the engine bay, i did somethiing similar and the fuse was in the box under the hood.

 

Yup sure enough it was a fuse. I had my friend take a look at it since I didnt want to do anymore damage and it was a fuse under the hood. It was the 10A fuse for the headlamps I believe on the left side top fuse of the box under the hood. I just didnt think they all ran dependent on each other. (tail lamps, side markers and dash light) Now everything is fine except for my 2 front side markers not lighting up. Im gonna try it out this coming weekend to see whats wrong with it but for now Im gonna leave it alone. THanks every1
